Family Is Made To Feel Like A Nuisance When 4YO Gets Seated Alone By The Airline

Traveling with kids requires planning for everything in advance. But Reddit user Medium-City-2094 claims his family’s recent trip was thrown into chaos at the last second due to a sudden aircraft change.

In a candid post on r/UnitedAirlines, the man says the carrier reassigned their seats, placing his four-year-old alone, away from the rest of the family, and repeatedly refused to fix the issue. So, he was reportedly forced to take matters into his own hands.

(Bored Panda has reached out to both the traveler and the airline for comment.)
