Travelers with Food Allergies Flying Budget Airlines

There are two things that struck me while reading this article. One, while I wouldn't really expect airlines to be 100% safe for people with allergies, I fully agree that a cleanliness standard for airlines has to be put into place. Considering the number of people confined in such a small place, cleanliness is a public health concern.
Two, I am aghast with the unsympathetic reactions Ms. Campbell's note elicited. One said:
Just a quick thought Julie - you have food allergies? Take care of them yourself - you're old enough to write a letter, you're old enough to make sure you don't eat something you're allergic to. There are many serious diseases out there with no cure on the horizon - I'm pretty sure your petty allergies would be among the least of concern.
That last sentence
shows we've got a loooong way in educating people about food allergies.Permalink: Travelers with Food Allergies Flying Budget Airlines
