EK SPML Vegetarian

[Etrust]

Doing a AUS-EUR return in EK J/C.

Does anyone order the Vegetarian Special Meal normally and have any comments on whether it is worthwhile... or just try and pick something vegetarian of the normal menu? (Some of the Ek flights I have done, all main courses have been non-vegetarian however)

Considering that you haven't had any luck with vegetarian meals on the menu to date, I would consider that a rhetorical question.

I.e. Pre order the vegetarian meal.

True, my question poorly worded: it was more a question of what people's experience with the quality of EK special meals has been.

I have had the AVML a few times with EK and have enjoyed them. Better than QF at any rate.

Well if you're vegetarian, I'd definitely order it... I have on EK in Y& J and its always been enjoyable. I was going to post a photo of a recent meal I had but its only a Y meal on an AKL-MEL hop.

Thanks. Gives me a bit more confidence selecting Veg meal - some carriers seem to lack imagination or understanding in this regard.

You can find a full list of special meals offered by Emirates on the link below but I've cut and pasted the vego options below. Just remember any time you change or cancel a flight any special meal request will also be cancelled so you'll need to re-request it.

Would there be a fruit platter type option also?
