Travel is amazing. Travel is supposed to be fun, dynamic, an adventure. It’s that blissful experience of willingly strapping yourself into a pressurised flying cylinder, hoping you won't get seated next to someone loudly eating a boiled egg or watching TikToks without headphones.  Travel rocks, travelling with a dietary requirement doesn't always! But for those of us with dietary requirements, in my case the joys of flying with lactose intolerance, it’s not just about survivi
