Summary: A parent of a child with a severe nut allergy shares a personal experience of being denied boarding by an airline due to safety concerns. They argue that airlines lack adequate safety measures and sympathy for passengers with life-threatening allergies, supporting the need for better policy.
My daughter was kicked off a United flight from Newark to LA because she had a nut allergy and the airline said she was a flight risk. That’s one example over 20 years of being treated horribly by the airlines, despite the fact that she brings her own food on board. Now, she dose’s Benadryl before the flight, puts a mask on and covers her head with a blanket. No sympathy or safety for these children, now young adults flying in an air tight plane with life threatening allergies.
