Multiple food allergies not matching to Lufthansa special meals
What to do when you have multiple allergies that neither special menu fits? For me, food needs to be gluten free (GFML) and dairy free (e.g. Vegan meal would work, despite that I do eat meat, eggs & fish). I’m pretty sure that there are other combination not covered by special meals available from LH. GFML can contain dairy (and almost all GFML food items did when flying Europe to Asia), vegan can contain gluten.
So if you have multiple allergies, then the only way is to choose one menu fitting to one of the allergies and then ask to get the dietary restriction added as comment to the PNR, very likely this won‘t be confirmed though. This kind of worked for me (main dishes were fine, despite allergens not being defined per item or on the packaging), but it‘s something which isn‘t properly foreseen. Recommendation from the travel agency was to bring own food as backup.
Of course adding a special meal also kills any chances of free or paid upgrades at the gate, as special meals depend on your class of travel.
Does anyone else have a better solution than what‘s outlined above?
