Georgie Palmer, 49, her husband Nick Sollom, 48, and daughters Rosie, 12, and Annie, 14, were ordered off the SunExpress flight from London Gatwick to Dalaman, Turkey on Tuesday after telling the crew Rosie had an anaphylactic allergy to peanuts.
It came after Ms Palmer said staff refused to make a standard announcement requesting passengers not eat peanuts because they had 'updated' their allergies policy. Instead she politely asked passengers around her not to consume any peanuts and pass the message on, which they did happily. But she says this enraged the captain who demanded they leave before the flight would take off.
