Individuals with Nut allergies, tree nut or peanut should be acrcomodated when traveling. It is a simple fix when someone notifies the airlines they have a nut or peanut allergies ahead of time and to not serve them onboard the aircraft. A simple announcement prior to the plane departing in the waiting area and onboard identifying that this is a peanut free flight is a very simple solution. The dust from a bag of peanuts can go 20 feet in the air, this is recirculated and passed throughout the cabin. When the dust is inhaled the individual can go into anaphylactic shock within a few minutes. My son is just one of those individuals. We rarely travel on public transportation anymore due to the peanuts served on the plane. There are so many other things that can be served onboard an aircraft, seems logical to make this change. I know that any airline willing to help give us a safe and secure flight is the one I will be flying. With 12 million individuals with allergies, I think this might increase transportation. Our son has had to have his epi-pen 9 times, most of those were from other people eating peanuts near him. Never ingesting them. This is a very real and serious allergy. I hope you will consider protecting those with fatal food allergies.
