Always think it’s good to fill out data points for other travellers.
I was super polite, scared they wouldn’t served me if I was too serious, but the first cabin crew could barely speak English and really struggled to get my emphasis on what an allergy sheet was, and despite asking her colleagues, I ordered safe western options.
After takeoff, the IFL greeted me as Emerald, and I asked her about the list and she was not happy, responding with: “that’s good feedback”. I wasn’t giving feedback, obviously, so I pressed a bit harder.
She let slip that she has the sheet but food still might have nuts. I insisted that that’s why I wanted to see the sheet. She accused me of not ordering online, said it would be “easier for everyone” if I had and walked 2 rows ahead, pulled out a folder and tada,
it’s an allergy sheet! I nearly snapped, but figured no point arguing, found the dishes in one of the 20 or so pages, with no help from her at all, and could eat pretty much everything.
Whole flight the crew was lazy and barely present so I think it was more a bad crew and lead in this case, but the moral is, flying out of the UK there is an allergy sheet, whatever they say, and you’ll eat great food.
