Traveling with an infant can be a daunting experience for parents, but it seems some passengers feel entitled to voice their displeasure. This became evident when a woman was escorted off a Delta flight after throwing a fit over being seated next to a mother and her eight-month-old baby.
Emily Johnson was on a flight from JFK to Syracuse with her son, Liam, when the incident occurred. According to Emily, the woman boarded last and immediately began complaining about her seat. She slammed her bags down and exclaimed, “This is absolutely ridiculous! I can’t believe I have to sit back here!” Emily, trying to keep the peace, politely asked the woman to watch her language, only to be met with a harsh retort.
In a video posted on social media, the woman can be heard complaining to a flight attendant about sitting next to a baby, whom she referred to as “a crying nuisance.” However, the footage shows little Liam was calm and not crying at all. With the flight lasting just over an hour, it begs the question: if you can’t tolerate the possibility of a child making noise for that short duration, perhaps air travel isn’t for you.
As the confrontation escalated, the woman eventually moved to a seat across the aisle, continuing her tantrum. Despite being offered a seat on the next flight, she refused and instead demanded the attendant’s name, threatening, “You may not have a job tomorrow.” This was the tipping point for the flight attendant, who promptly requested that the woman be removed from the aircraft.
Witnesses reported that the woman’s demeanor shifted dramatically once she realized the consequences of her actions. She attempted to apologize, claiming she was just stressed, but by then it was too late. “About ten minutes later, she returned to gather her belongings, still fuming and swearing that they’d all regret kicking her off,” Emily recounted. It was a striking example of instant karma for her entitled behavior.
