A survey by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine revealed that over half of US adults struggle to find healthy food in major airports, with 71 percent of frequent flyers expressing interest in plant-based options. While many airports still lack in nutritious choices, Los Angeles International (LAX) was recognized as the most vegan-friendly airport, offering meals rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

The survey also highlighted Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) as a leader in meat-free airport dining. The Physicians Committee dietitian recommended customizable eateries like CAVA and Breeze at LAX for healthy vegan options. It was suggested to research plant-based options at airports before traveling and to look for customizable meal bars or grab-and-go snacks free from animal products. Overall, there is an encouraging trend towards healthier and vegan-friendly food options in US airports.
