Wonderful and caring experience with United Airlines. We were invited to board early to clean her seats. Our attendants kindly asked all of our fellow passengers to refrain from eating nuts they may have brought on board.

We were nervous but had a great experience with United flying from Newark to the Bahamas-March 2018!

The United flight crew and staff were accommodating and helpful. I know United gets a bad reputation, but I have only ever approached them with kindness and sincerity and they have only ever responded the same.

Food allergy parents tend to be the boss at planning ahead. But what happens when a big storm hits during Spring break, your peanut allergic kiddo is rescheduled numerous times and your well laid planes fall to the side? Spoiler alert: Delta comes through.

On March 27,2018 on a Southwest Airlines flight peanuts were served even after going through 6 checkpoints to ensure our son’s safety safety. At 10,000 feet in the air our son had to have his EpiPen administered for the first time since he was diagnosed with an anaphylactic peanut allergy at the age of 2. Southwest Airlines did not take our child’s disability seriously and he could have loss his life because of it.

When booking this trip , we specifically chose JetBlue out of JFK (NYC) due to our daughter' nut allergy. We live in New Jersey, so Newark would have been a much easier option. We were pleased with our decision, as we were shown every courtesy and respect with regard to the food allergy.

My 3 year old son had a reaction as we disembarked our Southwest flight. We were rushed to the ER in an ambulance straight from the airport.

World travels with nut, seed and raw fruits/vegetable allergies. Respect on Jetblue and Delta- not so for American AIrlines.

My son was served cashews almonds and pistachios he ate one cashew and started having anaphylaxis symptoms.I’m sharing my story to RAISE Awareness. My son had Serious Anaphylaxis symptoms on our flight home last night. He ate one cashew from the nut mix he was served on our flight and within minutes he had severe stomach pain , chest pain and stridor breathing. If it was not for the quick thinking stewardess on the plane. The nurse who admistered the epi pen and cared for him the entire trip and passengers who gave us their epi pens this would have been fatal.

American blatantly discriminates against those with food allergies- even when trying to make a reservation or ask questions. According to the agent I spoke to - food allergy folks who present as being "royal" are not allowed to fly.
