Vegan Air Canada passenger served “meal” of water bottle and a napkin

A travel blogger has documented on social media her disappointment at the vegan meal options, or rather lack of any, on a recent Air Canada flight.

Miriam Porter, who goes by the name @TheKindTraveler on TikTok, was on a 10-hour flight from Toronto, Canada to Frankfurt in Germany.

She filmed the “meals” offered to her on the trip (language warning on video) – a bottle of water, and, well that’s about it.

“POV: You are on an Air Canada flight for over 10 hours and order vegan meals,” the video begins. Her first “meal” from her is a bottle of water, the second shows a napkin with nothing on it.

There have been more than 1.2 million views of her disappointment.

Porter did add that a flight attendant cobbled together some food from the pointy end of the plane: “Shout out to the kind flight attendant that got me fruit & dinner rolls from business class.”

She said she had ordered the meals well in advance and that it wasn’t the first time this has occurred.

“This has actually happened many times before. I always bring my own food in case but I was on a 24-hour delay and couldn’t make food to bring.”

More than 1000 comments are on the video with many sympathizing with the situation.

“Oh I flew business class for 14 hrs and they forgot to serve me breakfast and they had the worst flight attendant in business,” was one comment.

“15.5 hour flight and they kept running out of the vegetarian meal options in the first half of the plane,” added another.

One asked if the water was any good: “Quite tasty,” added Porter.

Air Canada has been approached for comment.
