The people on the airlines probably thought eggs and milk were vegan because
they probably don't understand the difference between vegan and vegetarian.
And a lot of people think that vegetarians don't mind if something contains
"just a little" meat, like say, cooking vegetables in bacon grease, or
adding chicken broth to vegetable soup, or serving yogurt with gelatin.

You can't change the world but the way to deal with it next time is probably
to pack your own meals and take them with you. That way, if they serve you
something palatable, fine. If it turns out not being something you can eat,
you have something ready to eat instead.
