I have just got back to London after a very long journey with China Eastern and I need to talk about it, partly as a vent and partly as a heads up for other vegan travellers.
The route was Brisbane to Shanghai, a flight of around nine and a half hours, followed by a six hour layover in Shanghai Pudong airport, and then a further fourteen hour flight from Shanghai to London Gatwick. All in all, a properly long haul journey that was tiring and rather gruelling.
Here is a photo of the food I was given in the cabin.
Coming home can be surprisingly complicated.
As I write this, I am in Brisbane, Australia, visiting friends and family in the city where I spent my childhood and early adult years. In a few days I will fly back to the UK, but later this year I will be making the move back to Brisbane on a much more permanent basis.
It is fair to say this visit has stirred up a lot of emotions.

If you need a clear example of exactly how far attitudes towards vegan food have shifted over the past few years, you only have to look at in flight food served by airlines.
It used to be unheard of to be served even a small snack that was plant-based, but here we are in 2026 with full vegan meals up for grabs!
Check out my meal service from the British Airways flight I took this week from London Heathrow to Tokyo Haneda.
I’ve been working overtime on the return of London Vegan Beer Fest, taking place at Mile End Stadium on September 19th, 2026.
It’s all super exciting but one element of the day has me particularly excited.

I’m getting ready to take a couple of VERY long flights this week and, as a vegan of many years, I understand that my emergency snack game has to be on point.
Take a look below at everything packed in my carry on bag.
