Flier Voices Displeasure Over Vistara's Short Flight Non-Veg Food Policy

Vistara's customer care responding to the complaint expressed concern and assured that it would investigate further.

A flyer has voiced dissatisfaction regarding the lack of non-vegetarian meal choices on a Vistara flight. "We don't serve non-veg bcoz this is a short flight" -stewardess on Vistara flight today.I don't get the connection betwn duration & non-veg.Were they planning to fire up a tandoor on the plane if it was a long flight?Vistara should call themselves a half-service airline!! The services are set, keeping in mind that all customers should be served and necessary procedures to be completed by the crew well within the time. We appreciate your understanding of the same and hope to delight you soon. Thanks, Aishwarya (2/2) This once happened to me on a Mumbai New Delhi air india flight. They gave everyone idli sambar by default and when I asked for non veg, they gave the same reason. Finally they gave me an omelette sausage meal after they apparently "searched" for it ..

The passenger, on social media platform X, formerly Twitter, questioned the rationale behind this policy, amusingly asking whether the airline intended to install a tandoor for longer flights.

Quoting a flight attendant who explained, 'We don't serve non-veg because this is a short flight,' the traveler criticized Vistara, proposing they should be labeled as a half-service airline.
