The kosher food on Lufthansa Airlines must be pretty good.
Some guy flying Lufthansa from Brazil to Zurich ordered his kosher meal but never received it during the flight.
Yitzchak Kopler sued the airline for $5000. 4 years later he won his lawsuit and was awarded $1400. The court said the customer has the right to receive the product he paid for. A kosher meal is not a luxury or accessory, but due to his religious ideals is something very important to the passenger.

We were always taught by our Jewish mothers that whenever we get a flight, to anywhere, we bring some food with us... Even if he had that would not absolve Lufthansa, but at least he would have had some food to eat. Truth is, maybe he did - the article does not say he had to sit hungry for the duration of the flight, but he did not get what he ordered and needed.
El Al probably gives a $20 voucher for a lost meal.
