Flying with food allergies can be stressfulโand sometimes dangerousโif you don't know what an airline will (or won't) do to keep passengers safe.
That's why Allergic Living and No Nut Traveler, Inc teamed up to create the comprehensive ๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ & ๐๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ด๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒโa first-of-its-kind resource packed with details on policies from pre-boarding to PA announcements, buffer zones, pet allergies, medical kits, and more.
This week on Eating at a Meeting Podcast LIVE, I'm talking with Gwen Smith, founding editor of Allergic Living, and Lianne Mandelbaum, founder of No Nut Traveler, about how they built this guide and why it's essential for travelers, parents, and planners alike.
We'll cover:
๐งณ How they researched and verified allergy accommodations across dozens of airlines
๐ซ Key differences between U.S./Canada carriers and international airlines
๐ซ Why "can't guarantee" policies matter and how to work around them
๐ค How event planners can use this resource to better support traveling guests with dietary needs
๐ Tips every traveler should followโfrom pre-boarding to in-flight safety
Whether you're planning your own trip, helping guests arrive safely to an event, or advocating for safer travel policies, this conversation will give you the knowledge and tools you need for allergy-aware travel.
