This is why you should NEVER order a vegetarian meal on a plane

If ordering a vegetarian meal, or any dish that isn’t part of the standard options, it could reduce the chances of getting a flight upgrade.

If there are seats available in business class then a passenger flying in economy class could be lucky enough to get bumped up.

However, if they have chosen a vegetarian meal, they may not get upgraded as the plane is less likely to have a vegetarian option in first class.  

Therefore they’re more likely to look for another person flying with a normal meal option.

Of course, for those choosing the vegetarian meal due to intolerances or ethics, it is an unavoidable option.

Nik Loukas, a former flight attendant with Qantas, told Business Insider UK: “If there’s a special meal request in your booking, the airline won’t even look at you [for an upgrade].

“Because you’ve got a dietary requirement, they might not be able to cater for you if they upgrade you.”

Therefore it can be much safer to stick to the standard option of meals.

Some plane food, even in economy, can still be a delicious option, depending on the airline.
