So it sounds good that they will make every effort to make your flight "nut free" but I am wondering how true this is? Anyone have any experiences they can share?
It's possible that you were never on a flight before where anyone had told the airline about a peanut allergy. They would not announce it unless someone did.Sue I am not doubting what you say(and perhaps you fly more than me)...but I have to say I fly 6-8 times a year and I have NEVER heard an announcement re: peanut(or anyother allergy for that matter). I would not be shocked or suprised to hear it...and of course I totally understand, but I think it is strange I have never heard it(also considering many of those flights are connecting - I have probablly been on 10 flights this past year).
We don't have anyone with a peanut allergy and also have never flown SW, but we fly with someone using a wheelchair and have preboarded while they were still cleaning and also have still been in the plane waiting for DD's wheelchair while they were cleaning. I can say all the cleanings we have seen were more trash removal than anything else. So, I would not count on the seats being clean for your needs.Do you still clean the seat if you're flying on the first flight out? We leave RI at 6:30 a.m.
You would love my MIL. The first time she was on a flight where they made that announcement, she was still worried 2 days later that she might have inadvertantly eaten something that could cause a problem.On previous flights the attendant has told guests someone with a severe peanut allergy is on board and asked to refrain from eating them. However, they still do. Unless you or a loved one has a food allergy, you don't know how severe and life-threatening food allergies are. They think they'll just sneeze or be uncomforable. For for people like my son and your daughter, it's deadly.

Your MIL sounds sweet. And I know there are a lot of understanding people out there who, even with no allergies, have compassion. But then there are those who grumble and get angry because they're not getting their FREE 1 ounce airline packaged peanuts.
