Before you fly
We do our best to create meals for customers with food allergies. However, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment on board our aircraft and we serve nuts and foods containing allergens on all our flights.
Other passengers may also bring their own food on board, which means traces of allergens may be present in the cabin air or on surfaces. Unless required by applicable law, Emirates will not make inflight announcements for passengers with allergies.
While we offer special medical or dietary meals (including gluten-intolerant and lactose-intolerant meals), these are produced in facilities that handle a wide range of ingredients, including allergens. Therefore we cannot guarantee that any meal is completely free of allergenic ingredients or traces.
We recommend to customers with nut allergies or any other food allergies:
Your safety and wellbeing are important to us. We encourage passengers with severe allergies to inform us of their allergy in advance so we can provide guidance and take reasonable steps, where possible. Please contact your local Emirates office(opens in the same window) for more information.
If you have a specific diet, you can choose from our range of dietary meals instead of from our onboard menu. Simply book a dietary meal up to 24 hours ahead of your flight through Manage Your Booking.
Some of our dietary meals aren’t available in Economy Class on flights lasting less than two hours.
You won’t need to book a child’s meal or baby meal in advance unless they have a specific diet as we automatically identify children and infants within a booking.
All our meals are halal certified.
