You know what we DO feel welcome flying on JetBlue w/ a #peanutallergy - #flightcrew just came to tell those around us not to eat anything w/ peanuts and if they want to eat nut snacks to go to front or back of plane - so kind and considerate - why we choose them again & again

Just pre boarded JetBlue for #peanutallergy cleaned area for past contamination - staff thanked US for letting them know & will tell those around us - why we choose to fly them again and again-customers with #foodallergies are loyal and repeat in the world full of choices

Insert huge sigh...

A Mars, Incorporated campaign to increase SNICKERS peanut bar consumption in the air is well, 'nuts' and yes dangerous too.

Read my analysis of Mars, Incorporated campaign to increase consumption of Snickers specifically in the air I applaud FARE | Food Allergy Research & Education urging Mars to abandon this campaign on behalf those flying with #peanutallergy

On anaphylaxis & deadly food allergies, I'm surprised that Mars Inc/Snickers' ad agency didn't learn from the Uber Eats Super Bowl ad & the peanut allergy 'joke' that ended up being pulled last minute due to the backlash. Uber Eats did the right thing though by editing their ad,

This is a situation we've heard before- even properly labeled medications are sometimes taken away when larger than a certain size dependent on country and quite frankly the individual airport #foodallergy #travel

I know people are emboldened online but turns out you can find many passengers on planes who also have no #compassion in the air
