Virgin Atlantic Passenger Offered £100 Voucher After Being Served 'Worst Meal Ever'
Virgin Atlantic apologized and offered a £100 voucher after serving a vegan meal described as substandard and possibly moldy on a Cancun to London flight.
- On January 14, Paul Booker was served a vegan breakfast toward the end of a 10-hour Virgin Atlantic flight from Cancun, Mexico, to London Heathrow and posted photos online calling it `pitiful` on a £600 flight.
- Limited specialist stocks meant the in-flight catering process must quality-check meals before loading, as Booker, vegan for 10 years, said he was left hungry at 10,000 feet.
- An embarrassed crew member described the meal as `unacceptable` after showing two slices of courgette and a solitary `rotten-looking` pepper on bread, then offered a fruit salad pot.
- Virgin Atlantic apologised and said all customers with dietary requirements should receive food that meets our high standards, offering a £100 voucher which Booker called insufficient and suggested £500.
- The episode raises questions about specialist catering as the sandwich box bore `we found love in a hungry place`, which Booker called his worst meal, from Minehead, Somerset.
