Allergies
For passengers with allergies, rest assured that Air Transat does not serve peanut or seafood products on board. As all foods are prepared in an external facility, we are unable to guarantee that allergens will not be present in the food or snacks served or that other passengers will not bring these products on board. As a result, we strongly suggest that passengers with severe food allergies bring their own food and snacks for the duration of the flight, as well as any appropriate medication such as an Epi-pen. For travellers with severe allergies to nuts and peanut products, we will be happy to assist with on board comfort by making a general announcement, as well as asking adjacent passengers to refrain from consuming their own nut and peanut products on board.
