Virgin Australia Business Class - Meals, Menus & Service

[Mr H]

Flying SYD-MEL at 10:30am last week I was offered a chicken burrito or a chicken curry (which could be made vegetarian if desired). I declined both, as I am allergic to chilli, and asked for a basic sandwich or something similar instead. I was given a packet of potato chips, a cheese & crackers and a chocolate. I was surprised to be served lunch at 10:30am, but okay...

This is probably the 3rd time it has happened in the past year that I've been unable to eat either meal offered and it's pretty frustrating. The breakfast served on the 9am flight a few days prior was great.

If I had that significant a food allergy I would investigate the special meals or make my own arrangements. Personally I think it’s a good thing that they offer real food on this flight and not the same cheap breakfast food that I would probably already have been offered in the hotel and again in the lounge. It was not always thus.
