Once again the airlines are at it again….
So according to this article at the Daily Mail, which is out
of the UK, we have a handful of greedy airlines that want to charge for parties
of 2 or more to sit together.
HERE is the news article
I will be traveling here in a few weeks. I did not have to
pay this fee but I did purchase our tickets about 2 months in advance. Way to
beat the system, huh.
Anyway, my thoughts on this topic.
PURE HORSE SHIT!
I myself will be traveling alone with 3 kids. One of which
is non-verbal in stressful situations, one is a toddler, and the other talks
more then I could ever imagine. I
usually try to get seats towards the back of the plane. It is closer to the
bathroom, to the flight attendants and if the kids need legroom to walk around
I just let them go.
So now these airlines (one of which I am flying on here in
about 2 weeks) Is going to charge me $25 per ticket to sit with my party?
AYFKM.
I guarantee no one wants to sit next to my son… You will
have to help him do half the things in the seat, he will not communicate with
you so he would cry or pee his pants, he will get hungry and not communicate
with you so he will cry… I am sure there will be more.
My oldest…. Will talk your ear off about writing songs, how
the planets are aligned, and probably how I am a mean mom.
My baby… Will take your stuff, make your life hell, want to
run up and down the isle, laugh at you and just like the oldest, talk your ear
off.
This is of course unless I give them melatonin or Dramamine.
Then, of course, they would sleep.
It is not another Traveler’s job to care for my kids. It is
not the flight attendant’s job to do so either. If I was in the position to
have help it might be a different story. That is not the case. If they do implement these fees I would
be more then happy to pay them to get my seats, upon check in I would gladly
ask for a refund. My children are under the age of 12. They should not have to
sit next to someone they do not know. What if it is someone whom can’t stand
kids, who has done wrong things to kids, or just makes them uncomfortable? They
should not have to endure that just to take a vacation to see Grandma.
So, here is to my vacation before Hawaii. We are taking the
kiddos to see their Grandparents and my mom and dad will meet us up there as
well. I am very excited since it
has been 6 months since the kids have seen their daddy. I hope we have just as good of a trip
as we usually do flying on this airline. Even though they have decided to be
greedy asshats…
Happy Summer everyone
