Airlines & Transportation

Airlines & Transportation

We know how difficult it is to travel while managing food allergies. Airlines in the United States lack a consistent policy with respect to food allergies. Some airlines will grant you pre-boarding permission and make an announcement regarding your family member’s food allergies, while another airline may not provide the same. Some airlines continue the practice of passing out peanuts to passengers while others have voluntarily moved to different snacks, yet those are also not necessarily food allergy friendly.

This issue is a major focus at FAACT. We will work with the airlines and U.S. legislators to secure a consistent policy with every airline so that your family can safely travel. More information will follow about this important topic.

Have you had a good or bad experience with an airline as it relates to a food allergy when your traveled?

Whether there were insensitive flight attendants, conflicting informantion at the time of booking versus the actual airport, or you encountered other irate passengers who wanted their nuts, No Nut Traveler wants to know.

Were the flight attendants fantastic and helpful? There are great stories as well as the bad ones, and they want to hear those stories.

Did the airline allow you to pre-board and wipe down your seat area, sit with others in your party, make an announcement, and/or suspend service of nuts?

Please share your story with No Nut Traveler, so others can learn from your experience.
