Food Allergies
As we cannot guarantee that any of our flights are allergen-free, we cannot assume responsibility for any allergic reactions passengers may experience. Passengers with food allergies can opt for a special meal from the provided selection and choose one at the time of booking. Important Information
Please note that we cannot guarantee our meals are nut-free. We serve nuts on all our flights, either as a meal ingredient or as an accompaniment to drinks.
Other passengers may also bring food on board that contains nuts, and traces of nut residue could be present on other surfaces of the aircraft as well as through the air conditioning system.
If you have a nut allergy, we recommend discussing your travel plans with your doctor before you fly. You should also inform the cabin crew of your allergies prior to food service.
Our cabin crew is trained in first aid, however, if you have a serious allergy, we also recommend you travel with a relative who can assist you.
