Each airline’s policies regarding traveling with children, pets, extra luggage, meals etc. is different. Charges and special services vary from airline to airline. Find the best deal for your special need before booking the flight. Most airlines will accommodate you if they are notified in advance. Special meal requests such as dietary, children’s, low sodium, kosher, vegetarian, etc. are usually available. Since most airlines only serve meals on long haul flights or in First or Business class, the chances of being served a meal that you can't eat. are less. It has actually become easier for an airline to serve a "special" meal today, when applicable, due to less meals being provided over-all !

Always notify the airline well in advance. They’ll be prepared to help you get one or provide it for you. Out of courtesy and common sense, be sure to arrive extra early prior to your flight time.
