The First time I decided to document what I'm eating during transcontinental travel.
So..I started my trip from Helsinki Vantaa Airport. I stayed in a hotel over night because I had an early flight. Anyone who has been in a Nordic country knows that their airports can be fairly expensive, and as I'm traveling with budget - I just went to a grocery store that was in Terminal 2 and got some snacks from there.
That particular bread from the brand Makula wasn't really mindblowing. To be honest I have had it before but I feel like they changed the recipe. It was not very good this time. Keeping it at 100!! Rye snacks is such a finnish thing and I also want to eat seeminlgy little bit healthier so I got those. Pretty basic stuff for anyone who wants salty snacks.
And off to Copenhagen Airport..
First of all I haven't been traveling there much before so I didn't know much about the vegan options in there. Surprisingly there are quite many places offering vegan food, but mostly it is salads and/or bread. And as I was bored with bread from last night and I wasn't feeling for it. Then I saw the good ol' Pret A Manger and I knew they had Vegan coconut porridge. I chose to eat that for breakfast.
And what do vegans get to eat during long flights?
Well, first of all you have to most of the time pay extra for specific meal requirements. That should already be an extra reason for airlines to try to make the meals better. I have used mostly Star alliance airlines on my longer flights.
This meal was pretty good. I rather have pasta like this than some weird vegan food experiment. This was also the first time when an airline has had a normal dessert for vegans that was exactly the same as the omni option. It's usually ALWAYS few sad pieces of fruit, nothing wrong with fruit, but we pay for this meal.. and it would be nice to have something like this more often since the options exist.
This meal was on Scandinavian Airlines.
