American Airlines trails competitors in accommodating passengers with peanut allergies, allergy activists say contributing to an unfortunate incident early this month at Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers.
In the Jan. 4 incident, a British family of four was denied boarding after seeking the same accommodation it was granted on its flights to Florida: a pre-flight crew announcement advising passengers not to eat nuts during the flight. Eleven-year-old Daniel Levitan has a peanut allergy.
