Vegan food still not a mainstream food and usually confused with vegetarian food. Today a news"Vegan flyer served just nuts & crisps on a 7-hour flight"drew my attention and I had a mixed filling that a person is suffered because he is vegan and on the other side his being a vegan made an international news which sent a message of veganism in the society.

The person was offered salty peanuts and crisps and he said due to that he felt sick and dehydrated. The airline said that they didn't receive any request for the vegan meal but passenger claimed he prebooked vegan food. According to the airline, there was some miscommunication between airline and tour operator.
I came across one more similar news Airline denies vegan food, rises hackles of animal activist This incident happened in India last year.
As the nos. of vegans increasing all over the world airlines need to start catering for vegans properly but already there are some airlines like Air Canada, Air France, Nippon Airways, US Airways etc offering vegan inflight-meals. Here is the complete list of airlines
After being vegan when I traveled I didn't find any vegan option in flight so I just removed non-vegan food and enjoyed other vegan food items. The same thing happened when I traveled by train.
