Airline food dispute: Unable to eat airplane meal for religious reasons

Del. couple sue over airline food dispute

Promised Hindu meal not provided -- amid threats -- suit says

A Hindu couple from Smyrna has sued United Airlines, claiming they were denied food for 12 hours and threatened with arrest after telling a flight attendant they were unable to eat their airplane meal for religious reasons.

The lawsuit, filed in Kent County Superior Court, also claims the head flight attendant threatened to have Amrutbhai Patel investigated by the FBI once the mid-July flight from Shanghai, China, arrived in Chicago. Because Patel's wife, Nilaben Patel, was unable to eat, the suit alleges, she couldn't take her antibiotics
