    Flying Business, Wanting to Eat Economy

    This is mostly a curiousity question, prompted by me being soon to fly to LAX and back with some fussy eaters (adults). If you don’t care for any of the mains in the Business Class Menu, can you ask for a meal from a lower cabin class? If yes, does anyone have any experience in doing so?

    Hi

    Hi I'm Ralphie. Due to a change in work, I'm not as much of a frequent flyer as I was (was previously a VA Platinum but am currently about to flick back to silver, and am a QF silver as well.) Most of my domestic travel is for work (alone) but for leisure it's usually across to the US or NZ...
