One member of cabin crew told them they might feel more comfortable if they moved into a toilet cubicle with cushions and pillows, they claim. Shannen said she told airline staff three times of the potentially life-threatening allergies - when booking, at check-in and on boarding the 500-passenger plane at Birmingham Airport. "We were stunned when a supervisor told us 'one way round it' was for us to spend the flight in the cabin loo," said Shannen, an analyst from Wolverhampton. The airline claims the booking records do not reflect any mention of an allergy and it can never guarantee nut-free flights.
