Travel Tips

Do Not Assume Waiters Know What Vegan Means

This is a problem everywhere. Many people mistakenly assume that a vegan and a vegetarian is the same thing. Many vegetarians will not eat meat but will partake in animal products like milk, eggs, and cheese. They sometimes will eat poultry and seafood as well.

If you simply ask a waiter if a sauce is vegan, he may say yes simply because it does not contain meat. Be more specific. Ask what is in the sauce. You do not have to explain why.  People with food allergies ask these questions often and he or she should be able to answer you.

If you have ever been stuck on a commercial flight with no vegan options, you know how frustrating that can be. You can only eat peanuts for so long.

Consider looking for a Deadhead Charter Flight. This is where a private plane was hired for a one-way trip. They have no one returning to their base location. You can snatch these flights at crazy low prices. You get the personal attention of a private jet with accommodations.
