A BUSINESS class passenger flying with Japan Airlines (JAL) has recounted her surprise after being served a vegan breakfast comprising a banana and nothing else.
“Before take-off today, my flight attendant confirmed that I ordered VGML (Vegetarian Vegan Meal) and that my breakfast was a banana, by which I mistakenly assumed she meant that breakfast included a banana,” netizen Kris_Chari said in a post on
FlyerTalk, a forum for air travellers, recently.
"When she served the banana after take-off, I thought it was just an underwhelming appetiser, but it was in fact the entire meal service.
"It was a really good banana – one of the best I've had recently – but it still seems more appropriate as a snack. Is catering out of CGK typically this underwhelming?"
She also noted that the fruit was served with chopsticks, which she said was “cute”.
This happened on a flight from Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) to Tokyo's Narita Airport.
After the somewhat underwhelming breakfast, the passenger claimed she was then served 'barely seasoned spaghetti' for lunch.
