Dua Lipa has voiced her anger on an airline as she claimed her sister was told she ‘might have to use her epi pen’ as they allegedly continued to serve nuts around the pair.

The One Kiss singer was travelling with her sister when she took to social media to voice her anger following the incident.

As she took to Twitter, she tagged United airline in her post, as she said: ‘I can’t believe i’m on a @united flight rn and I told the steward that my sister was severly allergic to nuts and his reply was “we’re not a nut free airline so if she has an epi pen she might have to use that as we can’t not serve other passengers in your section nuts”. (sic)’



One follower asked if the airline made an announcement flagging there was a passenger allergic to nuts.


I can’t believe i’m on a @united flight rn and I told the steward that my sister was severly allergic to nuts and his reply was “we’re not a nut free airline so if she has an epi pen she might have to use that as we can’t not serve other passengers in your section nuts” — DUA LIPA (@DUALIPA) July 25, 2018

The 22-year-old singer replied: ‘They didnt! They just said well we wont serve you two nuts but thats all we can do! LOL.’

The singer then said: ‘Is it just me or is that kinda mental???’

It’s not clear what was being served on board, however United – who do not sell themselves as a ‘nut-free’ airline – contacted the singer to message them directly about her concerns.

They also released a statement in reply to the singer in which they made it clear passenger safety was one of their priorities, however they can’t promise an ‘allergen-free’ flight.

‘Passenger safety is our top priority,’ the tweet, from one of the United press team began. ‘We can’t guarantee an allergen-free environment but we work to address allergy concerns onboard ie we don’t serve pre-packaged peanuts.’

They added to Dua: ‘We want to address your concerns so let’s connect when you land. We’ll contact our in-flight crew too.’

The website stated that while they do not serve pre-packaged nuts ‘we prepare and serve meals and snacks utilizing a variety of other ingredients including major food allergens.’
