DeltA Kicks Off Family over a two year old in a Seat
Well here is another story of why people hate airlines today. After weeks of various issues of kicking people off, here's another I heard about when I was going into work today. A Delta flight crew went against protocol and forced a two year old in a car seat on a seat (within Delta's guidelines) but yet the crew kicked them of the overbooked flight from Hawaii to California, even after offering to have the kid sit on on one of the parent's laps. The family paid more than $2,000 to cover a flight to California the next day and a hotel room. SoCal family thrown off overbooked Delta flight over child's seating | abc7.com
Maybe not handled in the best way, but infants IMO should be in laps of parents if there is no approved child seat available (just like being in a car). The parents should of just "lapped" the infants. But then again, I'm not them.
You pay for three seats, you get three seats.
I always bought and paid full price for a seat for my infant/toddler/etc kids.
Now, to be fair, the situation is complicated bc the seat was originally another kid's seat, but the kid went on an earlier flight.
The staff tells Brian Schear his younger son can't sit on the seat because Mason's name is on it, not the infant's.
Naw. Let's be real. The only reason they gave two craps is because they could use it as a reason to bump the kid out of his seat so they could give it to someone else.

Delta policy allows car seats though. Maybe Delta needs to go to Capital Hill like the other airlines did over their bump policies and lack of customer service... From what I heard the family had to pay $2000 for a hotel and the next fight out to California. SoCal family thrown off overbooked Delta flight over child's seating | abc7.com

Putting kids in car seats on planes always cracked me up. The chances are so slim that something were to happen.
Yeah, we never did it.
We had a FAA approved harness, but that was pretty worthless, too.
But the point wasn't for safety. He said it was the only way the kid would sleep.
Which I'm sure the other passengers would have been happier with.
