On holiday flights, a menu is usually offered on board. According to a representative survey, passengers want more choices. Almost a third of Germans want vegetarian food.

More women than men want vegetarian food
Tourists who reach their holiday destination by plane will be provided with a menu on the way there. According to a dpa report from a representative Forsa survey commissioned by Turkish Airlines, 75 percent of respondents consider it important to choose between multiple menus. In addition, with 31 percent, just under a third of Germans on air travel want a vegetarian offer. However, there are clear differences between the sexes. Although 41 percent of women find meatless food important, only 21 percent of men do. Vegetarian food can also be beneficial for passengers suffering from motion sickness. They are generally recommended by experts to be on light diet to prevent symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, sweating or dizziness.

The majority of seat spacing is important
Much more value on the subject of comfort, however, lay passengers on the seat distance. For 92 percent it is important or very important and thus becomes the decisive criterion. More space has a health advantage in any case. For example, exercises to prevent thrombosis can be better performed if more space is available. For example, by flexing and stretching the ankle and toe joints repeatedly, keeping the tension of the muscles for a few seconds. People from risk groups should also wear compression stockings and, in individual cases, heparin may also be used to dilute the blood. According to the survey, 72 percent of air travelers attach importance to a display console and 45 percent to multilingual newspapers and magazines. (Ad)
