(Thierry Monasse \/ Getty Images)<\/p>\n<p>  \u00a0By Jack Davis   \u00a0May 16, 2023 at 4:57pm      A vegan passenger had an experience on a recent flight that can be best summed up with the phrase \u201cyou can\u2019t always get what you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Motivational speaker Juanita Headley remains livid that the airline did not have ample vegan meals for her when she took a flight from Ghana to Amsterdam on April 19.<\/p>\n<p> There were extenuating circumstances, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n<p>  Headley\u2019s initial flight from Ghana to London was delayed, which meant the KLM booking took place on short notice. Headley, who had ordered a vegan meal on the Kenya Airways flight, also did not have time to get her own food.<\/p>\n<p> Headley said that KLM staff at first said they were not sure a vegan meal would be ready for her, but then said those immortal words everyone hears now and then that there would be no problem.<\/p>\n<p>   Well, there was.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI was sitting on a plane, hungry, and while everyone was eating hot food I got nuts, about seven pieces of tangerine, and four pieces of pineapple. That\u2019s what I was served as a hot meal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cThe second meal was a banana, about six pieces of pineapple, and nuts. The staff gave me very attentive personalized service and made me feel very special. But the makeshift meal was a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThank God I don\u2019t have a nut allergy or I would have been on fruit rations,\u201d she said according to the New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>  KLM says it can serve vegan meals but needs a little notice.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cOn each flight, there\u2019s a limited number of vegetarian meals available. Want to make sure you get your vegetarian meal or do you prefer a vegan meal? You\u2019ve got the option to reserve a vegetarian or vegan meal. Make sure to order at least 24\u00a0hours before departure,\u201d the airline said on its website.<\/p>\n<p> KLM was apologetic in a statement, according to Business Insider.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cDue to an unforeseen situation, there was no vegan meal available for this passenger on the flight. We regret that this happened and would like to offer our sincere apologies. Our customer care department will be in contact with this passenger to see how we can make up for this,\u201d its statement said.<\/p>\n<p> Headley found the comment even less appealing than her meals saying it was \u201cappalling that all KLM did is say sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cI understand these things can happen because I was not on that original flight. But this wouldn\u2019t be an issue if they put a couple of extra vegan meals on the plane,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIn this day and age where veganism isn\u2019t a new phenomenon, it is unacceptable that a six-hour, long-haul flight doesn\u2019t carry a few extra meals for situations like this, or at a minimum that the vegetarian meal is also vegan which would make like very simple for crew and passengers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>  She insisted she is not alone, noting photos of vegan offerings provided on other airlines.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cI see photographs of people\u2019s meals often,\u201d she said. \u201cSomeone posted recently they got a cup of salad and probably fruits as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>   SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact<\/p>\n<p> Jack Davis is a freelance writer who joined The Western Journal in July 2015 and chronicled the campaign that saw President Donald Trump elected.
