While many airlines have moved away from serving nuts as a standard snack, we can’t 100% guarantee a nut-free cabin, as other passengers might bring their own treats on board.
To keep your journey as smooth as possible, we recommend these pro-travel steps:
Chat with the Crew: As soon as you step on board, let the cabin crew know about your allergy. While policies vary by airline, they’re there to help and can keep an eye on things for you. Most airlines will also often make a quick announcement to your fellow passengers.
Pack the Essentials: Always keep your necessary medications and EpiPens in your hand luggage so they’re within easy reach at all times.
Snack Savvy: It’s a great idea to bring along your own favourite nut-free snacks. That way, you know exactly what’s on the menu for your mid-air munchies!
⚠️ Important: Flying with Emirates? If you’re heading off on an Emirates flight, it’s important to know that they do serve nuts on all flights as both meal ingredients and with drinks. They also don't typically make cabin announcements regarding allergies, so it’s extra important to carry your medication and perhaps bring your own meal if your allergy is severe.
