Recently I read of an elite passenger who posed concern for non-availability of food for Diabetic passenger on domestic flights.  I feel this is an unnecessary roar. The best option for passengers whether diabetic or not will be to abstain from eating or drinking on board. Most of the flights are not more than 2-3 hours duration and one can easily sustain from eating or drinking (except water) for that long. The passengers who fly are presumably from affluent strata of society and are not starved. Since the food is free and the cost is included in the airfare everyone is gorging whether hungry or not.

I really enjoy being on flights where no meals are served. These flights are not only cost effective but they save the passengers from the inconvenience of the jostle of hostesses walking the aisle with food trolleys emitting varied food smell in the aircraft which at times are nauseating. The passengers too make a beeline for the loos after meals or drink. In the low cost airlines since there is no meal to serve, there is no unnecessary hustle or push to fellow passengers who care to fly in quiet comfort without any disturbance.

WISH: The short duration flights (which are barely for 2-3 hours) may be sans meals on board.
