Claiming Peanut Allergy, eh even got kicked off the plane

A woman honestly asked the cabin crew for help when her allergies flared up. Instead of being helped, he was thrown out of the plane.

Reporting from An independent UK Monday (14/10), Ellie Brelis (29) flew from Boston to Los Angeles last week with the airline Delta Airlines. During the flight, he felt his allergies reappear.

Brelis suffered anaphylactic shock caused by peanuts. He said his illness had recurred with milder effects than usual.

“I was literally on the plane and they took me out,” Brelis said, crying.

Apparently, he was asked to leave the plane. Fortunately, a flight attendant helped him get on another flight that night.

“I didn’t know what I was doing and the man at the gate at the time said I hadn’t done anything wrong,” he said.

He has to wait five hours to be sure to fly. His misery increased. Brelis could not eat while he waited.

On the second flight, Brelis faced the more mature situation. He upgraded and told the flight attendant about his allergy before take off.

Airlines usually ask passengers to notify them of any allergies before boarding by filling out a form or contacting their accessibility services team.

Food allergies are considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act and airlines are required by law to accommodate passengers with disabilities.
