For Guests With Different Dietary Needs

At V Australia, we understand our Guests have different dietary needs. That’s why we offer a selection of special meals to make sure we’re satisfying the dietary and medical needs of all our Guests.

We recommend Guests suffering from allergies (such as peanut allergies) bring their own meal onboard (subject to enhanced security measures for carry-on baggage) as V Australia is unable to guarantee that our meals are completely allergen free.
