Son's Allergy Causes Family To Be Kicked Off Flight

A family from California was allegedly kicked out of an Allegiant flight from Provo Utah due to the peanut allergy of their son. The couple, Kyson and Sara Dana said that they were flying back to Oakland with their two-year-old son when they told the flight attendant of their son's condition.

According to Fox News, Kyson Dana had asked a flight attendant if the Allegiant staff could do anything to help them such as avoiding serving peanuts in the part of the plane where they were seated. The attendant said that "she didn't recommend them flying on the plane." Another attendant then supposedly asked the passengers around the Danas to avoid eating peanuts and everyone seemed to agree.

Family Prepared For Allergy Attack

"My wife said, 'We're obviously flying on the plane, and we recognize the risks. We have an EpiPen with us," Kyson Dana said, as per CNN. The epinephrine pen is used for severe allergies.

Another attendant gave the Dana family a message from the pilot, telling them to get off the plane. The allegiant staff said that they decided to have the family off the plane after a consultation with a medical professional.

The family caught another flight home free of charge after a Provo Municipal Airport employee drove them to Salt Lake City, New York Daily News said. Their son, Theo, had suffered an allergic reaction the weekend before they were going home
