Reply To: Haredim refusing to sit mixed on airplanes

I was once on a flight where there was a person with a nut allergy. He purchased one seat, just like everybody else. The stewardess went around and let everyone in his vicinity know that they will not be getting peanuts, and will not be permitted to eat any nut product in flight. People who had a problem with this could request a seat change. The airline did not require him to pay any extra money beyond the cost of a regular seat. Maybe they saved enough from not having to serve 15 people peanuts :).
