delta removes allergic actress: social media uproar ensues

The traveller admitted that she always informs the crew about her allergy before the flight, pointing out where she stores her EpiPens, which are life-saving medications in the event of an allergic reaction. She did the same this time, but her request prompted a reaction she did not expect.

"Suddenly, many people got involved. I was embarrassed and couldn’t understand why my allergy became such a problem, as I had flown many times before and never had issues," she admitted in an interview with NYPost. Brelis claims that, despite trying to explain, she was asked to leave the plane, and her luggage flew without her.

On TikTok, she posted a video showing her frustration and disappointment with the situation. "They kicked me off the plane because of an allergy," she said through tears. Brelis emphasised that she was flying home for a medical consultation due to serious health issues and did not understand why her case was treated so rigorously.

The passenger noted that she has flown with Delta Airlines for years, always informing the staff about her health condition, and such an event had never occurred before. "Is it my fault? Should I not have mentioned the allergy?" she asked her viewers.

After leaving the plane, Brelis was informed by Delta Airlines representatives that they needed to consult with Medair, a specialised medical service, to ensure she was fit to fly. Upon confirming she had the proper medication, she was redirected to another flight, which, as she noted, was fully booked and did not offer her a guarantee of safety.

According to Delta's rules, people with allergies should fill out appropriate forms or contact the accessibility team before flying. Despite attempts to accommodate passengers' needs, the airline cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.

Brelis eventually cancelled her Delta flight and decided to travel with JetBlue, where she did not encounter any difficulties. Since posting the video on TikTok, many other people have shared their experiences with allergies during travel.

"I understand that flights always involve some risk, but it’s part of life, and everyone should have the opportunity to travel, regardless of their allergies," Brelis said in an NYPost interview.
