@thumper1 Pre-board allow my S the ability to get in his seat and wipe down the tray and arm rests. That reduces to possibility of ingesting peanut products (ie tray to hand to mouth). Someone having a peanut butter sandwich in the next seat is concerning but as long as he doesn’t expect a hand shake it’s OK.
Our son’s travel rules of thumb:
- Know your destination and identify a few 100% safe options.
- If English in not widely spoken, get some allergy cards in the native language
- Street food and in home meals are risky even if staff say “It’s OK”. Be skeptical.
- Many resort restaurants can accommodate peanut allergies. Email ahead and ask.
- Travel with 4 epipens, wipes to clean airplane tray, and lots of snacks
- If you will be having any airport layovers, check what is available in advance (use your snacks if needed).
