EXCLUSIVE: Marissa Warrington didn’t ask Turkish Airlines to stop serving nuts or food, she simply asked for them to tell others on board about her life-threatening condition
A student on her first ever international flight alone was humiliated and kicked off the plane after telling the crew she had an allergy to nuts.
Marissa Williamson told the Mirror she hysterically broke down in tears as she watched her flight home from Kuala Lumpur pull away from the gate and leave without her.
The 21-year-old who is a business major at Georgia Highlands College in the US, had travelled to Malaysia to visit family with her mother AikWah Leow.
But as Marissa boarded her return flight with Turkish Airlines alone so she could get back to her studies she was soon terrified she wouldn’t make it home.
