I am travelling PE from MAN to MCO in October...hopefully on a 747 refurb. Problem is i have an allergy to mushrooms and have noticed that all 3 meals have mushrooms...shocking choice really.
Im not vegen, vegetarian etc but i'm not taking a packed lunch on board either...help me someone ?|

Either request a special meal in advance or have a large breakfast at the airport before you fly, which should keep you going until they serve afternoon tea.

Thanks Gumshoe,

Although, I still think it's a very poor meal option considering we've paid over £2,000 for flights...packed lunch it is then !!!

If I were you I would take something yourself but also order a special meal, because some of those options can be really quite good.

Thanks for that...there's no option on My Booking for a special meal, do I need to phone VS or do you think an email will suffice ?

Worth posting this issue with all meal choices containing shr'ooms on Facebook, as least you'll get a recognised log of the query.. Ok your response might be " we are monitoring the situation.." but also worth a punt..

There should be a section in your manage booking page under the header ' Dietary Requirements' (near the top next to the frequent flyer & API bits)

If you click that, you get a list of alternatives.

Erm, doesn't the menu change at the beginning of September for UC and PE so I'd hold tough until then and see what is on the menu then

Has anyone flown PE from LGW/MAN to MCO recently?

Have VS got rid of the awful slug looking mushroom menu yet ???
I have been told they change their menu every 3 months or so.
I am praying the Lasagne (mushrooms), Chicken (Mushroom sauce) and Risotto (Wild Mushroom) have all disappeared for my flight in October ?|
