Sophie Draper was boarding an American Airlines flight from London to New York when she was kicked off for having a severe nut allergy that crew members claimed they could not “accommodate.”
According to Draper, the head of cabin crew informed her they were “contractually obliged to serve hot mixed nuts in first and business class.” “I broke down in tears,” Draper tweeted. “I felt totally discriminated against for a health condition I have no control over.”
Draper’s boyfriend filed a complaint to the airline over a month ago, but no serious action has been taken. An American Airlines spokesperson wrote, “We regret that we disappointed Ms. Draper and her travel partner during this trip, and our team has reached out to apologize and hear more about their experience.”
