Veg Diet Myth of the Day:

In-flight meals are unpredictable enough—if I ask for veg meals, I might actually starve.

BUSTED. Ha! This one's easy. Ever notice how some people on your flight get their meals before everyone else? Those are the vegetarians (and others who ordered a special meal). The trick to avoiding hunger pangs on your next sky-high adventure is asking for the right special meal. When confirming your flight, put in your request for the Asian Vegetarian meal, so you can look forward to sautéed noodles with shiitake mushrooms and five-spice tofu. If you're feeling especially adventurous, request the Hindu Vegetarian option, and while your seatmates pick at a piece of overcooked cod, you'll be relishing your lightly spiced Aloo Gobi with a side of naan. Most airlines also offer vegan and gluten-free meals, too. Bon appétit!
