We can accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements. Please make your request via Manage Booking or by contacting your local reservations office. Orders for special meals should be made at least 24 hours before your scheduled flight.

* All meals on flights to and from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and Middle East are prepared without the use of pork, pork by-products, alcohol or alcohol-based ingredients.
** Non-beef meal is served as regular meal in Economy Class on flights between Hong Kong and Taipei/Kaohsiung (and vice versa).
We regret we are unable to offer any variations on the special meals listing above and we additionally cannot provide personal preference items such as seafood, lobster or steak.
Note: Please be advised that our crew will not be able to re-heat or chill any personal food items brought on board for consumption, due to hygiene reasons. Any food requiring refrigeration should be packed in either a cool bag or vacuum flask. Passengers may bring their own dry ice in quantities of less than 2.5kg (5.5 lbs) which is suitably packed to allow CO2 gases to evaporate freely. Passengers must identify to airport staff that they are bringing dry ice on board at the time of check-in. If warming of food items are required inflight, please ask our cabin crew for a container with hot water.
*For Peanut and tree nut allergy information, please refer to the "Peanuts and tree nuts" section below.
Although your comfort and safety are our priorities in our lounges and on our aircraft, we cannot guarantee an environment free from allergens. If you wish to be extra cautious, you can request priority boarding in order to wipe down your seating area using your own cleaning materials. Please speak to our cabin crew to learn more about the ingredients in the meals served inflight.
If you have severe food allergies, consider taking the following precautions:
If you have severe allergies, we recommend consulting your doctor to confirm whether you are fit to fly. For any special accommodations, contact Customer Care at least 72 hours before departure.
Please review our peanut and tree nut policy here to make your journey as smooth as possible.
We understand how important it is for customers with food allergies to feel informed and cared for when travelling with us.
While meals served to or brought onboard by other passengers may contain peanuts and tree nut products, and our aircraft and airport lounges cannot be guaranteed to be peanut- or tree nut-free environments, we want to share an important update: Cathay Pacific no longer serves peanuts as a snack on our flights. As a result, passengers no longer need to submit a request for peanut-free snacks before their flight. Please note that alternative snacks may still contain tree nuts. Passengers who require a tree nut-free option can continue to submit a request before their flight.
Furthermore, Cathay Pacific cannot provide peanut or tree nut-free meals. If you require peanut and tree nut-free meals, we recommend bringing your own food items that do not require chilling or reheating during the flight.
We encourage passengers with allergies to take any precautions they feel necessary for their own comfort and wellbeing, and our crew will always do their best to support you onboard.
While we offer a special meal request for "Low Lactose Meals", which exclude dairy products (i.e. milk, dry milk solids, casein, cream, cheese, yoghurt, butter and lactose), these meals are not suitable for passengers with cow's milk allergies. Please refer to our special meals above for more information.
