Furthermore, the passenger revealed that she complained to the flight staff and discovered that she was not the only person who faced this problem. She explained, "When I informed the cabin supervisor (Sona), she apologized and informed me that there was more than one complaint about the same issue other than me and my friend. However, after I informed the crew, there was no action taken to inform other passengers having vegetarian meals."

The food was not the only aspect of the journey that made her slam Air India online. The delay also made matters worse, as the X user's friend missed her train from Mumbai as a result. She asked the airline company "to take strict action on its catering services and delays" after her "highly disappointing experience".

My friend missed her train that was at 23:00 PM from Mumbai to Ahmedabad. We booked it as the flight was supposed to land in Mumbai from Calicut at 20:40PM!— Veera Jain (@VeeraJain) January 9, 2024

First the delay, then the non-veg in my vegetarian meal. This is highly disappointing and it has hurt my sentiments. I ask Air India to take strict action on its catering services and delays.— Veera Jain (@VeeraJain) January 9, 2024

The X user has cautioned people to "Please check thoroughly what you consume on a flight. After two extremely delayed flights (Mum-Kozhikode on 4th Jan and return on 8th Jan) and non-veg served, I have lost trust in all of the airline food now."

And I would suggest everyone- Please check thoroughly what you consume on a flight. After two extremely delayed flights (Mum-Kozhikode on 4th Jan and return on 8th Jan) and nonveg served I have lost trust in all of the airline food now. #AirIndia— Veera Jain (@VeeraJain) January 9, 2024

The X user also revealed that the airline company has apologised to her separately. She wrote, "For the issue raised, they have only given me apologies via DM. I don't understand how it is not a realization for them that this is a case of hurting sentiments. Imagine not making the payment right when booking their flight and later just apologizing for it continuously."
