I'm going to Australia in January. I've ordered vegan meals for my flights - I will report back in February about how reliable the British Airways and Qantas catering was. My previous experience has been that the prepackaged meals usually are vegan, but that the flight attendants are inclined to augment them with lumps of cheese or little tubs of milk, so you want to watch out for the loose items that get added to the tray. Mother is also dairy-free (runs in the family) so I've got no problems with eating her cooking once I get there. An email will reach me while I'm away, but I will set the list to NOMAIL to guard against my server bouncing messages that I don't pick up for a few days.
