On 19 January 2026, Abhishek Chaudhary was travelling on Air India AI2335 from Bangkok to Delhi, seat 29C. He had pre-booked and paid for a non-vegetarian meal, which was confirmed in advance as per airline policy. When the meal trolley finally reached the last rows, he was simply told that the non-veg meal was “over.” There was no apology, no effort to check the system, and no attempt at service recovery. Abhishek recounts the same happened with a French national on his flight who also shared his experience with him.
