Dietary Preferences

Overview

If you have dietary restrictions or preferences, set them once in your MileIntel settings and every TCC dining recommendation will be filtered accordingly. No more scrolling past options you can't eat.

Setting Your Preferences

1. Go to Settings in your MileIntel dashboard.
2. Scroll to the Dietary Preferences section.
3. Select any combination of preferences:

- Vegetarian — no meat or fish

- Vegan — no animal products

- Gluten-free — no wheat, barley, rye

- Halal — halal-certified options

- Kosher — kosher-certified options

- Nut-free — avoids tree nuts and peanuts

- Dairy-free — no dairy products

- Pescatarian — fish but no meat

1. Save your preferences. They apply immediately to all future TCC dining results.

How Filtering Works

When the Dining tab loads, MileIntel cross-references your saved preferences with each restaurant's menu data:

• Compatible restaurants appear at the top, with dietary icons clearly displayed
• Partially compatible restaurants (e.g., a burger joint with one veggie option) appear lower with a note about limited options
• Incompatible restaurants are moved to the bottom or hidden, depending on how strict you've set the filter

You can always see all restaurants by toggling off the dietary filter in the Dining tab — your saved preferences aren't deleted, just temporarily bypassed.

Where the Data Comes From

Dietary compatibility data is sourced from restaurant menus, OpenStreetMap tags, Google Places data, and MileIntel's curated airport dining database. For major airport restaurants, the data is manually verified. For smaller or newer establishments, it's algorithmically inferred and may be less precise.

Key Details

• Preferences are account-wide — they apply at every airport, every trip
• You can set multiple preferences simultaneously (e.g., vegan + gluten-free)
• MileIntel's behavioral learning system also refines dining suggestions over time based on your check-in history at airport restaurants
• Dietary preference data is never shared with third parties

Tips

1. Set preferences even if you're not strict about them. Having vegetarian-friendly options surface first saves time when you're hungry and your flight boards in 40 minutes.
2. When traveling internationally, dietary terminology varies. MileIntel normalizes terms so "vegetarian" means the same thing whether you're in Tokyo or Toronto.
