Man's gluten free airline meal request met with a single banana
by David Pescovitz from on (#2NRH6)
Martin Pavelk pre-ordered a gluten-free breakfast for his All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo to Sydney, Australia. He was served a single banana, a packet of salt, and a knife and fork.
"All other passengers were served a full breakfast meal consisting of eggs, sausage, mushrooms, bread, and yogurt," Pavelk said. "This was a nine-hour flight. Although definitely gluten-free, the banana did not keep me full for very long."
All Nippon Airways told The Telegraph that they have since "apologized to him personally and as a result of his experience we are reviewing our policy on gluten free options and how they are served."
