Allergies are a real thing and can be life threatening. That being said, those with allergies need to mentally set reasonable expectations around what they can expect companies and other people to do to accommodate them. One passenger recently boarded a plane and shared a list of demands related to their allergies that had to make the flight crew wonder if they were being punked.
The passenger claims to be allergic to cashews, the smell of coffee, fragrances like cologne, perfume, and soap, as well as gasoline and airplane fuel. I’m sorry, but if you can’t even smell coffee or gasoline without fearing that you will stop breathing it might be a good idea to stay home.
How can an airline be reasonably expected to not brew coffee due to the odor or to ask other passengers to not wear any fragrances? They cannot. It’s also funny that she requested a full-size water bottle for the medication that she needs to take in flight.
Anthony’s Take: This note is a nightmare and I can only imagine how awful this passenger is in person. I recently watched a woman in First Class cry and throw a temper tantrum when her drink order was incorrectly prepared. Ah, people.
