Good to know

We recognise that there are passengers who are allergic to nuts, for example. Passengers are advised that we serve nut products on board and that there may be trace elements of unspecified nut ingredients in meals and snacks. 
In addition, other passengers may bring nuts on board. As such, we're not able to guarantee a nut-free environment on a Brussels Airlines-operated flight.
