I hope KLM arranged some alternative pretzels or something - I like my bowl of nuts with a glass of champagne.
Apparently those with this problem have a complicated life. It is more than just eating them, but being near them, even the odd nut being left in a seat crack. Of course, an airline cannot guaranted that it is nut free, as some passangers, such as me, bring them on when in Y.
Seems to me the parents should have been in touch with the airline and possibly not travel at all until the child is older and better able to tolerate the problem.
