eat on plane

  • Check your travel insurance is appropriate for your health needs.

  • Check the airline policy regarding food allergies in advance, particularly for international travel.

  • Ensure that you have your two adrenaline (epinephrine) injectors, ASCIA Action Plan for Anaphylaxis and ASCIA Travel Plan with you and within reach, at all times.

  • It is recommended that you carry your own food for the trip where appropriate (e.g. on flights).

  • Wipe down tray tables with wet wipes when you board the plane.

  • Some airlines have food exclusion zones as part of their management policy, however airline staff cannot control food other passengers bring on board.

  • Remember your adrenaline injectors must be within reach at all times. Do not put your adrenaline injector into checked luggage or overhead storage.
