Woman kicked off flight 2,000 miles from home after pilot told of nut allergy

A woman on her way from the UK to a holiday in South Africa was kicked off the flight and left stranded 2,000 miles from home in Istanbul when the pilot discovered she is mildly allergic to nuts.

Hanna Olsen revealed her allergies when she asked to see the list of ingredients in the in-flight food, reports The Mirror. She said: "I asked for an ingredients list for the meals they were serving, as I had on the flight from Manchester. My allergy is mild; it is not airborne.

"I wasn't asking them not to serve nuts or for it to affect anyone else on the flight, I simply wanted to know so I could decide that what I was eating was safe for me."
