Dietary needs
Dietary needs on flights within Europe
Flying within Europe? We can't offer meals for specific dietary needs on these shorter flights. Feel free to ask our cabin crew about the snacks and their ingredients.
Dietary needs on intercontinental flights
Flying intercontinental? You can pick a meal that fits your dietary needs when you book. You can also arrange it later, through My Trip.
Good to know: you'll need to choose your meal for each flight separately. Your choice applies to your main meal, not the snacks.

Food allergies
We can't promise an allergen-free cabin — but we do take steps to lower the risk.
Allergen information
Allergen information is available on all European flights. On intercontinental flights, it's available only if you're departing from Amsterdam. Want to know more? Feel free to ask our cabin crew.
Do you have a severe food allergy?
Please pack your allergy medication in your hand baggage, so it's within reach.
Our meals and snacks may contain nuts, and we don't offer nut-free alternatives. You're welcome to bring your own food on board — we just can't heat it for you.
Do you have a peanut allergy?
We understand the importance of feeling safe when flying with a peanut allergy. Our meals don't contain whole peanuts, ground peanuts, or peanut paste. But they may be prepared in kitchens that also handle peanuts. So we cannot guarantee that our flights are completely free from peanut traces or contamination.
If you let us know about a severe peanut allergy, our cabin crew will gladly make an announcement to inform other passengers and help minimize your risk. Please note that we cannot deviate from our regular service on board.
