Are you nut free?

Air Canada is...or they will be if you let them know in advance.



OTTAWA -- The country's largest airline has been ordered to create a nut-free zone on flights to accommodate passengers with serious nut allergies.

The government agency overseeing airline consumer complaints on Thursday gave Air Canada 30 days to come up with a plan to create a "buffer zone" for each aircraft type when passengers with nut allergies warn them ahead of time.

In addition to proposing the size of the zone, Air Canada must also tell the Canadian Transportation Agency what it deems adequate advance notice to institute the specified nut-free area in the cabin.

The agency issued the directive in response to applications by two passengers, who argued that Air Canada lacked a formal policy to deal with travellers with peanut or nut allergies.

WOW, 2 people complain, I think the whole thing is nuts

I complained about that here last year. United is now a nut free carrier.

They announced on the plane that opening a bag of nuts would be against their airline rules. When I asked the flight attendant why, she said that someone around me may be allergic to my nuts.

Gee, I remember when we could smoke on a plane and at bars at airports.

People don't like it when your nuts go floating into their face.

Impossible. My nuts are rarified air, fruit of the gods, unmistakeable despite 10,000 feet.

Ever have the First Class nuts? I bet Business Class nuts are a bit different too. :D
