<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I do not find it at all difficult to bring along GF food and do not see what the problem is in doing so. If you want to take a chance at getting sick, then go ahead and take your chances. I do not believe that so many people expect everyone in the world to drop everything to accomodate a GF meal or snack. Is it really that difficult to eat before a flight? I hardly think so! It seems as though many people on this list enjoy complaining and feeling sorry for themselves. I think it is much better to put a positive spin on things-doing so usually generates a better response from those who are trying to help celiacs and get them what they need. Nowadays most flights do not have a full meal, the way it was even a few years ago, so just inquire beforehand and bring food just in case.All celiacs should probably carry something with them anyway, in case of an emergency.
