I personally have suffered from peanut allergies for over 40 years. If there are packaged peanuts served on board a flight, it’s 100% guaranteed that I will have a reaction from the peanut dust. I do not agree with a buffer zone for a couple of reasons. For me, it’s the dust in the air. Someone posted that the air circulates peanut dust right out of the air but apparently not quick enough to prevent a life threatening reaction. You know, airlines tried to create non-smoking zones on airplanes but that didn’t work either. I have been on flights where nasty (and do I mean NASTY) flight attendants have made sarcastic remarks about me and my allergies especially on one Delta flight. Northwest was great because they respected their passengers enough to address their concerns and prohibited peanuts altogether. It was as much a relief to walk onto one of their flights as it was to walk onto one of the first smoke free flights! Smokers use to use the same logic and reasoning to justify smoking on flights as these peanut proponents are using now. I flew on many smoking flights and never needed to inject myself so that I could breathe – I can’t say the same for flights with peanuts.
