I've flown Delta several times now without issue. They let us preboard to wipe seats, make announcements, and have been easy to work with in regards to my allergy.
ETA: They don't serve peanuts if you ask them not to. Call asap when you make your reservations and tell themt o mark your allergy.
No tree nuts that I've seen, except for prepaid snacks on the loooonnnnng flights, which no one bought and ate in mass quantities, which would have been my concern.

I think the OP's concern is that if they serve peanuts on other flights (and apparently they do) there would be residue in the air system.

We fly American (they do serve tree nuts in first class) and US Airways.
Because of where we lived, over the last five years we've almost flown US Airways exclusively. If you do this and go through Charlotte, their home, there are some safe options for PA eating-wise. There's a BK and a Mexican build-your-own-burrito kind of place (like Chipotle, Moes and Qdoba--but not those). Their allergy info was good.
Also-- does Alaska share equipment with Delta?
We just booked flights with United, one of which is international. We didn't have much of a choice as United was the only airline that could get us to our destination. (Normally we fly WestJet everywhere, they are essentially PN/TN-free, but they don't go where we need to go.) United's customer service via email was less than stellar as they kept telling me there are no peanuts served onboard when I was asking about tree nuts. *sigh* They never answered my question about warmed nuts or allergy accommodations, even after I asked three times. Needless to say, I'm a bit scared of this flight. We are not flying first class and have requested seats near the back of the plane. We are hoping the gate attendants and flight attendants will be more helpful.
Does anyone here have experience with United and tree nut allergies? I don't want to have to walk through first class as I board if they are warming nuts. Will they let me preboard? Should I wear a mask? Other suggestions? I have a history of airborne reactions.
Flying out on Tuesday.....yikes......Hawaii
Got the plane sheet.....all scripts are up to date, travel size packs of Clorox wipes.....etc
I am a nervous flyer...........anyway.....before allergy....
wish us luck......flying United. does not serve peanuts themselves in anything according to website and CS person.
Tree nuts yes.......but she eats those......not on a plane of course...bt not allergic. so if they give thme out in first class, we are not in first class....lol
so for those of you who follow me on Facebook....... :watch: I will be posting some pics. Instagram also......but I don't think anyone here follows my little instragram......I have it mainly to follow my kids......haha
I flew on Delta this past week and was told that my flight would be peanut free after I informed them of my allergy. However, as snack and beverage service began the whole plane was served peanuts and there was a very strong odor throughout the plane. Luckily, I did not have a severe reaction. The flight attendants told me (with a little attitude) that they were not told about my allergy. Be careful on Delta!
I recently flew Southwest (and I know most of you would not, but there a few that do) and when the were giving out the snacks, a gentleman asked if they had any peanuts. The flight attendant politely informed in that there was a peanut allergic passenger on the plane and therefore they were not serving peanuts. I think they had 4-5 other choices of snacks for everyone.
I'm a bit nervous of our flights with United next month. I noted the allergy when I booked the flight and then contacted them to confirm it would be on my file, but their reply didn't comfort me at all. Kind of a CYA reply that they don't have allergy accommodations and cannot guarantee a safe environment. (They don't serve nuts or peanuts onboard but I've heard they may roast nuts in first class.) Fingers crossed that we won't have any trouble. (I'm definitely airborne reactive.)
Too bad WestJet doesn't fly to where we're going on vacation this year. :(
I always confirm at the gate and when I preboard to wipe my seat.
