I have identical twin daughters — only one of which has a severe peanut allergy (go figure–same DNA, same environment, one has it- one doesn’t)

Anyway — we recently flew (1st class) on a cross country flight on a major carrier. I made sure that I added to my online flight reservation that we had severe peanut allergy.

We told the gate personnel that we had severe peanut allergy (apparently they didn’t have it tagged on our ticket).

We told the flight attendant that we had severe peanut allergy — apparently the gate personnel, and the ticketing didn’t notify the flight attendant.

The flight attendant had such a “so what” attitude that really upset me. We were flying 1st class for this reason! ($$$) She even handed my daughter a… more »

Lucky for the flight I was able to take it away from my daughter — otherwise they may have had to make an emergency landing.

Yes, we had our epi-pen with us; but we did not account for IGNORANT flight attendants and poor communication between ticketing, gate and flight.

Note to self: Avoid this major carrier (I am being nice by not mentioning their name)! « less
