Lufthansa

[BensMom]

DS will be flying Lufthansa home from France in June. I found this on their website:

Applying medicine by means of an EpiPen™

Basically Lufthansa recommends that passengers who have allergies or food intolerances always carry their medication with them in their carry-on baggage. In the event of an emergency, our flight crew cannot apply medication by means of an EpiPen™ (epinephrine) auto-injector. Children and teenagers who carry an EpiPen™ (epinephrine) auto-injector with them can only fly on board Lufthansa aircraft if accompanied by someone who can be trusted to administer this.

I wonder if DS, age 19, is considered a teen or an adult in this scenario. He will be traveling with a group that includes 2 (older) adults. I just wonder if he'll have any trouble if he's not with them at check-in or seated with one of them. I emailed Lufthansa to ask.

Anyone ever fly them? It says they don't serve peanuts. The flight he'll be on is a daytime flight (the one to Paris is overnght and on United), so he's going to need food. Not sure what to do there. I don't even know how he handled the flights to/from Israel. I guess he managed.

He will be accompanied by himself, who is trusted to administer, right? And I would think they would give no pause to even just him--but especially since he's with an adult. 

I have some ideas about food.  I think I posted them in the teen travel thread--what we did for DS when dinner was going to have to be during a 1 hour layover in Chicago.  I'll link to it.

It's a link to that post.

Thanks Mac. Whatever food he takes on the flight home will either have to be purchased by him when he's there or travel with him for the 3 week trip, which I'm not sure is so realistic. I think he said the food on the flight home from Israel was labeled with ingredients.

Anyone have a travel insurance company they like? The trip coordinator mentioned Travelex. TravelSafe and a couple others.
