BOSTON – A woman says she was removed from a Delta flight to Boston after telling the crew she has a serious allergy.
Passenger tells Delta staff of allergy
Ellie Brelis travels constantly for her career and even has the Delta Rewards credit card. She said she always takes the same steps when flying to alert the flight crew about her life-threatening shellfish allergy.
Brelis said her allergy is documented with Delta, and as she boarded a flight from Los Angeles to Boston, she touched base with the flight attendants about her multiple EpiPens, as she always does.
“She brought out another flight attendant into it, and all of a sudden, it just kind of became this really big commotion where they said they were concerned because they were cooking shellfish in first class and they couldn’t not serve it,” Brelis said.
Removed from flight to Boston
Brelis was not flying first class. However, she said, a Delta medical representative boarded the place and ultimately removed Brelis from the flight, leaving her luggage on the plane.
