pretzels in lieu of nuts....
Flew back from ANU in CW last week and was offered pretzels instead of the usual nut selection with 1st drinks round.
Is this an 'enhancement' or merely an ad-hoc substitution?

They might be a better choice on an aircraft tbh due to the amount of nut allergies / perceived nut allergies around.

We don't serve peanuts on any flights to/from LGW and probably most flights to/from LHR.

We don't make concessions for pax with nut allergies. We don't provide nut free meals and we don't make announcements to ask people to refrain from eating nuts. The reason for this is that there will be nut particles everywhere on that aircraft from previous flights so it wouldn't make a difference. Also, I reckon we might be opening ourselves up for legal trouble. It's not that we're not sympathetic, we just can't guarantee the environment being nut free.

Goodness me, it's nuts or prezels, and for the price you pay does it matter/ if you can afford the ticket for goodness sake go to a local supermarket at your point of departure and get what you want..nuts or prezels they are likely to be unhealthy , in a packet and not worth more than 49p!!
