Special Meals

British Airways will continue to offer the 20 special meals listed below. However, from 27 October 2002 the availability of the SPML free-format code will be withdrawn.

SPML free format was used for requirements not covered by the specific special meal codes. As such it covered an array of preferences which could not be guaranteed across the network and which added complexity and risk to our meal service.

The 20 special meals which will continue to be offered for dietary, religious and medical reasons are:

• Asian Vegetarian Meal (AVML)
• Lacto Vegetarian Meal (VLML)
• Vegan Vegetarian Meal (VGML)
• Hindu Meal (HNML)
• Moslem Meal (MOML)
• Kosher Meal (KSML)
