A WOMAN was left stunned after she ordered a vegan meal during a 10-hour flight – and was only served water.
Miriam Porter, who goes by the name The Kind Traveler on TikTok, had booked the long-haul flight from Toronto to Frankfurt with Air Canada.
However, despite ordering the vegan meal in advance, was served no food on the plane.
She said in her video on TikTok: "POV: You are on an Air Canada flight for over ten hours and order vegan meals."
She then showed that for the first meal she was given a bottle of water, and then nothing for her second meal.
Miriam added in the comments a "shout out to the kind flight attendant" who eventually got her some fruit and some bread rolls from business class.
