<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Northwest also informed me that they will not serve GF meals to me during my Sydney-NewYork 20+ hour flight. grrrrrrr ... In fact, said they had decided to cut back on the "special meals" they offer to passengers. James -- it is a long haul, but I do strongly recommend Australia. Did a 5-day barrier reef cruise last year and the chef pampered me silly .... even made me a personal pizza on PastaDay ... and called to tell me he had a surprise, and to not avoid PastaDay just cuz I'm celiac ... And speaking of ... yes, it is a long trip for cookies and licorice, but we were so enamored of Australia that we are heading back. 3-week trip [yay!] will include Alice Springs, Cairns, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney. Any dining recommendations would be most welcome. Tracey in CT GF lodging: http://www.1-888-inn-seek.com/GFinns.htm
