First they didn\u2019t believe our babies birth certificate from Indiana at check in and they had several people look at it. We went through TSA just fine no issues. We boarded our flight like normal. Before boarding we took off babies shirt because she was hot on the flight from Indy to Florida we figured she\u2019d probably be sweaty then too. She had also just ate baby food. Anybody with a child knows they are messy. They removed the gentleman in the aisle seat told him there was a seat up front away from kids. The whole two rows we were in were full of children and their parents. Someone in a vest came onto the plane and ask for our boarding pass again. I handed it over. They then asked me how old the baby was, her name, her birthdate and went back by the bathrooms and kept talking into the phone and walkie talkie. They called her an unidentified infant over the walkie. Then they told us a flight attendant reported us for a baby being feverish\u2026 said medical professionals wouldn\u2019t clear her to tly and that we were going to have to get off. Nobody would come and see her. Nobody on the flight was required to have a temperature checked. Nobody would even come and take her temperature. They said well she looks red and it looks like a rash. Several other babies were on the flight and also crying. We were told to get off the flight or police would take us off of it even though we weren\u2019t arguing or cussing. As we walked off we asked again why are we getting kicked off the plane and they stated we weren\u2019t getting kicked off. I asked to speak to a supervisor. I told the lady I\u2019m not mad at you I\u2019m mad at the situation. Im not complaining about you specifically. A supervisor wouldn\u2019t come and talk to us in person only on a phone. We got on the next flight they had which was 11am the next day. No accommodations, no car to get around, no place to stay other than to call family back to grab us from the airport again. We were so lucky we hadn\u2019t been just in town by ourselves. We waited an hour for them to drive back and grab us. We have no luggage as they wouldn\u2019t grab it off the plane. No car seat or stroller for the baby. They gave us an unclaimed car seat that has no padding and isn\u2019t age appropriate. Car seat was way too big had to hold her head the whole ride back to Kyle\u2019s grandparents house because it was too big. We missed work the next day, had to get our pet sitter to stay another day, didn\u2019t get to pick up our two other kids that were at dads for spring break and missed our foster care class which was the only one that aligned with our schedule for the next two months. We got on our next flight no issues. When we checked in they did state usually you can\u2019t tly tor 24 hours if there\u2019s illness when I asked if there were notes in for the night previous for when I called customer care. However we were put on the next flight 12 hours later. They even tried to make it better putting us in priority boarding and extra leg room which we didn\u2019t care about. We chose the back of the plane on purpose, less windows, it\u2019s usually darker for the baby to nap, and usually other people with kids chose the back. There was such a difference in the second flight sitting up front. Everyone was so much nicer and friendlier. We called Allegiant and they just keep telling us we are not able to get any sort of compensation for our time or experience. They wouldn\u2019t email or give me any policies on traveling with infants and they wouldn\u2019t connect me to a supervisor of any kind. @Allegiant Air also if you\u2019re just here to make comments about a baby being naked or there being more to the story get fucked <\/p>\n<p> <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Syd \u2764\ufe0f\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7622112887347219231?refer=embed\">\u266c original sound \u2013 Syd \u2764\ufe0f<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>\u201cNobody would come and see her.

If a crew member has concerns about a passenger\u2019s ability to travel, especially when an infant or potential medical issue is involved, they may pause boarding to consult our medical information service provider, MedLink.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>\u201c\u2026 In this instance, our crew consulted MedLink after observing symptoms that raised concern, which is standard procedure and consistent with industry practice across many airlines when a passenger health issue arises. Based on the information available, MedLink advised that it was not in the child\u2019s best interest to continue travel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The viral video of the situation racked up over 3,000 comments with varying opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Some actually took the airline\u2019s side, understanding where they were coming from.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can promise you, we hear babies cry on our aircraft every day. Crying babies do not bother us. If the flight attendant and Gate Agent requested med link to assess the baby and follow their guidance, it was out of care and concern of this child not for any other reason,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe baby was literally screamingggg crazy to expect people to just sit thru that,\u201d chimed in someone else.<\/p>\n<p>Others empathized with the family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the airline is now giving out healthcare advice,\u201d a comment read, with another with a similar sentiment right under it: \u201cAs a healthcare provider, I would have asked to see who assessed my child. Because assessing a minor without consent is against medical ethics!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSue, they are supposed to compensate you if they chnage your flight last minute,\u201d someone else pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy does the world make it more difficult for new parents?\u201d wrote someone else.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/04\/05\/lifestyle\/couple-removed-from-flight-due-to-crying-baby\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They did what?
