I don't usually worry about peanuts and flying even with my severe allergy. I clean the seats, keep my hands to myself and bring ny own food. This time I am flying to AU on Virgin Blue from LAX to Sydney and then again to Brisbane.

Only info on their website is in regards to medical clearance for anyphylaxsis. if you do not carry epi. I will have several.

Anybody traveled with them?

Yes, we travel with epis all the time on planes. Contact your physician and ask for a medical clearance letter to bring an epi on flight. It's a simple sheet of paper.

Honestly-the airlines here in the US never asked for it, but we always have it on hand just in case. I would NEVER board a plane without an epi.
