The Case of AirTran's Ousted Toddler |
| Everyone's talking about the family that got kicked off an AirTran flight last week because of a three-year-old daughter who wouldn't sit in her seat for take-off. If ever there were an issue that could ignite travelers' opinionated streaks, this is it. Is it the parents' fault? What's the best way to restrain an unruly child? Should the airline have let the family stay onboard? Does a wandering three-year-old really constitute a security threat? Is it okay to dose kids with Benadryl before flying to keep them calm? What are the best ways to distract your kids so they don't become upset and aggitated during flights? If you're a traveler who frequently flies with children, you'll no doubt want to read up on the incident and what others are saying about it. Hey, I don't even have kids, and I found it really interesting. Here are some links to get you started: Air tantrum: How to avoid becoming the family taken off the plane Was the flight crew fair?
