NUT ALLERGIES

Anyone who has an allergy to nuts must contact our Special Assistance Department.

We recognise the seriousness of a nut allergy and need to assess each passenger on an individual basis to ascertain suitability for travel.

Virgin Atlantic does not offer nut free flights. You should be aware that nuts are served on all Virgin flights to other passengers as part of the menu ingredients in all cabins and with regard to the Upper Class cabin as part of the drinks service also. If you are travelling in Upper Class, we can arrange for an alternative nut friendly snack to be served during the drinks service and we require 5 working days notice to arrange this.

A nut friendly meal will be requested. Whilst no nuts or nut derivatives will be used in the preparation of this meal, it will not be produced in a nut free environment and may therefore contain traces of nuts. In light of this, customers may prefer to provide their own food.

Some passengers bring food on board with them which may include nuts or nut related products. Therefore, it is possible that residues of peanut and other nut oils may be passed onto the upholstery and other surfaces, or circulated via the air conditioning systems.
