In this case, *BEWARE*. I ordered GF meals on my last vacation. (US Air). What a joke! Entree (okay) served with rolls and a brownie! My husband's low-fat meal was actually better suited - at least *he* got fruit for dessert! Check what choices are offered - you may be better off with a fruit plate, a seafood plate, or the Muslim meal (on United, this was a very nice plate of brown rice with a salad and a couple of nicely cooked lamb chops!) Watch what's on your plate, and be prepared to substitute or leave behind. Best suggestion: survival food in your pack/carry-on. I *always* carry dried fruit and nuts with me (along with a chocolate bar or two when traveling to cold weather areas). The two extra pounds in my baggage isn't much considering how often it has saved me (try finding a GF, dairy-free snack in a hurry in an airport!) Happy flying!
