Furious passenger served ‘disappointing’ sandwich during a flight which has just two slices of cucumber in it
The vegetarian meal option left passenger Florian Kowatz unimpressed
A PASSENGER was left fuming after being served a "disappointing" sandwich during a nine-hour flight.
Air China passenger Florian Kowatz was travelling from Beijing to Vienna when the meal was served to him.
Florian, who owns a brand strategy company, booked a vegetarian meal for the long flight.
However what he was given was a measly looking sandwich with just two pieces of cucumber inside along with a small smear of butter.
He tweeted: "Dear @airchina — your vegetarian meal option on a flight to Vienna from Beijing. Less than disappointing."
Social media responded with laughter at the lack of fillings in the sandwich.
The empty sandwich appears to have been a problem before, as another passenger tweeted a similar picture last year of the measly cucumber sandwich while on an Air China flight.
Even worse, a second sandwich he was served was just as disappointing as it contained one piece of lettuce.
Another Twitter user wrote: "@airchina, please, PLEASE,improve your VGML options!
"This’s the worst airline dinner ever (this was given for DINNER, not snack)."
It is not the first time an airline has been slammed for offering poor inflight meal options.
