Get Your Meal Served First On An Airplane

If you're traveling by plane, an easy way to get your meal served first is to request a special meal when booking your ticket. As a vegetarian this is something I do anyways so it's a nice extra bonus. I'm not sure why they make the special meals first and not last, but I'm not complaining. As long as they correctly record your request you should be all set!

And of course you don't need to get the vegetarian meal.  Airlines usually have several special meal request types depending on the airline.
