Gluten Free Abroad
Helpful tips for sufferers
Most airline companies offer the choice of booking Gluten Free Foods when flying abroad.
It is always advisable to check with the tour operator or airline if in doubt. There is no harm in also mentioning it at check in and also advising cabin crew of your allergy.
In most cases it is wise to take precautions and prepare a sandwich or other food yourself so that you are not left without; this is especially important on long haul flights. Airline companies require you to prebook your Gluten Free meal. So if it does not appear at the booking stage contact them to find out if they offer it. Once you receive your meal dont assume it is 100% correct. Mistakes can happen and if in doubt with an item ask a member of the cabin crew.
When eating abroad be especially careful with any restaurant or hotel food. Again check with the manager of the hotel or tour operator before you leave so that they are fully aware of your gluten intollerance. Remember that in many oulets how safe your experience is will be determined by how well you have explained your allergy.
