How long before the flight? When you say profile, you mean FF profile, or reservation?

VS requires 48 hour advance booking for KSML only. Every other meal requires 24 hours. Why is that? Missed 48 hour cutoff by 3 hours and they refused to even put it in the notes.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Btw i had that with EK im not sure what the cutoff was but it was a connecting flight from MLE and i asked them on the MLE-DXB flight if they can arrange kosher meals, and guess what we had 2 delicious kosher meals on DXB-JFK flight

I flew 2 weeks ago with LH in F, and I was able to order KSML's about 28 hrs before the flight.
