Some people can experience symptoms if someone opens up just a bag of peanuts, or if they sit across from someone eating peanuts, and when they are way up in the sky.. they can’t just escape right away unless they land the plane.
Before you book your flight talk to someone working with the airlines to find out how they will accommodate your allergy. If the airline serves peanuts they could declare “peanut free” during the flight, the attendants would make an annoucement to let passengers know there is someone allergic to peanuts on board. Air Tran and US Airways no longer serve peanuts, but still call ahead and let someone know, to make sure other passengers are warned. When you board the plane, stop before you take your sit and chat with the flight attendant about this, so they can let everyone on board aware of this.
Keep in mind, not everyone is allergic to peanuts or even comprehends how serious eating peanuts infront of you can be, so some passengers may still bring their own peanuts to snack on…so don’t make any assumptions, protect yourself.
