I had told the airline in advance about my son’s allergy. They did not serve nuts but would not make any kind of announcement for others not to eat. I felt like it was up to me entirely to inform other passengers and incur whatever hostility may have come along. The stewardess was rude and disrespectful as she walked by me and basically demonstrated contempt for us and our situaiton. Her reaction was seen by those around us and I almost felt like the victim of a bully. In contrast, Jetblue and Southwest have been helpful by not serving nuts and making an announcement for passengers to refrain from eating any they have brought. They do not identify the passenger with the allergy. This is good because you never know what kind of jerk might be near you who could direct hostility your way for infringing on his or her “rights.”
