My son is allergic to peanuts. The last time we flew on an airline that served peanuts (Southwest) we called ahead and requested that no peanuts be served on our flight. The airline was extremely accommodating, but there were peanuts on the floor and between the seats from earlier flights. For that reason, I don’t see banning peanuts on specific flights or a peanut-free buffer zone as real solutions. We now only fly airlines that don’t serve peanuts. We’re okay with Snickers because the peanuts are less likely to get spilled. However, this wouldn’t be a good solution for those with an inhalation allergy. Maybe the ban could extend to all foods when there is a specific request.
