The last place you expect to get something that tastes good (or even to get something at all) is on a plane flight. Luckily for me, they can’t really put you on a 13 hour flight without feeding you.
ANA is a pretty great airline. Unlike United (which grifted me out of 175 for luggage fees) ANA doesn’t charge you for oversized luggage and such things. They also offer a huge amount of special meals which you can reserve by calling in or placing a reservation online.
Luckily for us vegans, one of the online options is the vegan meal, which is actually pretty tasty. I couldn’t tell you what it is since it’s some Japanese food I’ve never eaten before, but you can expect the usual as you would with Japanese food: variety, pickled things, and rice.
Overall, pretty good. Given that their price is actually less than the American companies, I wouldn’t want to take another chance with an American airline. Last time they delayed me for a full day in Chicago, even though their Indian food was pretty decent. Also, the $175 I had to pay to check my bicycle one way to Chicago was more than the ticket.
In summary: ANA is vegan-friendly. More to come from Japan sooner or later.
