Do Not travel with Malaysia Airlines

Thank you for the suggestion. We did look into some sort of legal recourse however, we were advised that the chances to win is slim.

We are going through another option, which is disbuting through my credit card company. This way, at least we were able to get refund for the tickets.

That is terrible..... By any chance, did you purchase the ticket with your credit card?? If you did, you can get your ticket refunded through your credit card company. I made disbuted through my credit card company and the MAS airlines too. I did get all my flights refunded. I hope this help and good luck! At the minimum, you should have your unused flight compensated!

I just find out that Singapore Airlines is peanut-free. Check them out.... We have to fly to Asia again.... this time, we will fly with S'pore Airline (even though they are a bit more expensive)

I can understand how you feel. Over there, a person with allergy is treated as someone who has committed a crime. They have no compassion and no understanding at all. I am very surprised that they even let you boarded the plane. My trip was way shorter than yours (3 hours flight) and they refused to board us because they would not agree not to serve peanuts to the passengers sitting within a row around us!!

My husband's entire family lives there.... however, his parents cannot fly over here to visit us. Someone did suggest to us to fly Quantas instead.

Indignant? Shaken? Writing a letter?

As the family of a captain for a major US carrier, let me shed some light on a few things..

Our 11 year old daughter is fatally peanut allergic. She cannot be near anyone with peanuts, much less ingest or touch them. That being said--
we have traveled all over the world...10 hour flights are routine for us.

I am not sure what airline that you are getting to withold peanuts in their service..it does not exist. With over 30 years in the industry, regularly flying a European line, as well as family favorites like Orlando-my husband has never been briefed on a peanut allergy on board,no have the flight attendants ever made an announcement to the passengers to refrain from eating or bringing peanuts on board.

Instead of maligning Malaysia Airlines...why dont you be thankful that you arrived home safely, that the FA's effectively kept 300+ passengers from putting you into anaphaylaxis,and that your concerns were listened to.

In the future, the best defense is an excellent offense..epi pens, beadryl and inhaler. All good to have no matter what. Face mask is overkill. In the HISTORY of the airline that my husband works for...there has never once been a peanut allergy incident from secondary exposure- either on a surface or through the air.This comes from the chief pilot office as well as the safety/incident office.
The only medical emergencies relate to peanut allergy have been from ingestion of peanuts in either an allergic person or a previously unknown allergy.

Please be informed that due to changing laws and liability- there cannot be any announcements made nor meals withheld to accomodate allergy.

Please do not let fear of a reacton keep you from flying or seeing the world.Taxis, busses, trains,schools, malls, parks....we do not live in a bubble- exercise due dilegence in keeping yoursel/family safe.

Happy travels
