What is the code for fruit platter in airline?

FPML ? Fruit Platter Meal ? Seasonal fresh fruit.



The universal IATA code for a Fruit Platter meal is FPML. In 2026, this remains one of the most popular "Special Meal" requests for travelers who want a light, hydrating, and naturally gluten-free option during long-haul flights. An FPML typically consists of seasonal fresh fruits, sometimes accompanied by dried fruits, and is free of processed sugars, additives, or dairy. Because it is a "Special Meal," it is almost always served before the general cabin service, which is a "secret" benefit for those who want to eat early and get more sleep. For 2026 travelers, it is vital to request an FPML through the airline's "Manage Booking" portal at least 24 to 48 hours before departure, as airlines do not carry extra fruit platters for on-demand requests. It is an excellent choice for those looking to avoid the "bloating" often associated with heavy, sodium-rich airline pasta or meat dishes.
