The good news: more and more, airlines are aware of severe allergies and have policies in place to protect passengers.

How can you raise your odds of having a boring, sedate, and uneventful flight? For starters, read up on how to prepare for airline travel with allergies. Then, once you've found your fare, check the airline's allergy policies and get to the airport in plenty of time to discuss any concerns you may have with the gate staff. Bon voyage!
