LATAM and Peanut Allergies
I am considering flying LATAM with a severe peanut allergy. I typically avoid airlines which serve peanuts as snacks to everyone in flight (Southwest, Delta, Singapore) - even if they refrain on my flight, the plane is coated in peanut dust from previous flights.
Can any LATAM frequent flyers comment on their Y/W inflight snacks? I'll be doing LAX-LIM-IGU. LATAM's US twitter team has been useless.

I dont fly Y so often, but on my flys i have never got any peanuts snacks on Y. Also no meal on Y will have peanuts for what i renember so no many chances for any left over.
My tip will be to just stay away from the first rows, since on J you do get Peanuts as a snack.

LATAM serves nuts on business class and there's no policy (as far as I know) regarding banning them on a flight due to one passenger's allergy. I suggest you inform them formally - via email - of your condition.

Thanks for the response - tree nuts are no problem, just peanuts. I will definitely inform them. My primary concern are those annoying bags of peanuts handed out to every single person on the plane (economy especially) a la Southwest. If LATAM doesn't do that, I will be fine.

As international goes, you only get food, no snacks on economy, sometimes they will give you a Chocolate bar with your food, i have just get some milk chocolate, i dont know if in some flights give chocolate with nuts (like a Milky way maybe).
On J you get some assorted nuts, sometimes will have some peanuts on it.... i know because my wife dont like peanuts and i end up eating hers hehehe
