机上用餐问题的咨询

乘客：    我们想了解由北京飞往伦敦的航班上的餐食情况。

服务台：我们飞机上的餐食经过设计能够同时满足中国人和欧洲人的口味。这些餐食由一家当地航空公司的配餐公司提供。

乘客：    中国食物不错，我们很喜欢。

服务台：在飞行过程中，我们将提供两次便餐和一次点心。

乘客：    我们将乘坐经济舱。在飞机上是否提供免费饮品？

服务台：看情况而定。不含酒精的饮料对所有的乘客免费，而酒吧服务仅对头等舱和商务舱的乘客免费；同时，可以以合理的价格向经济舱的乘客出售。

乘客：    请问，贵公司能否为那些不吃肉或鱼的乘客提供特别的食物？

服务台：是的。我们一直都在飞机上备有蔬菜食品以满足乘客的需求。我们有供选择的菜式，比如蘑菇，土豆以及素食火腿。实际上，无论您在飞机上想要什么，我们几乎都可以满足您。

乘客：    顺便问一下，在您的航班上有很多的素食乘客吗？

服务台：是的。如果他们提前通知我们，那么事情就变得很简单，但是我们也绝不会因为没有预约而不做准备。

乘客：    太妙了。
