I’m stewing over American Airline’s assinine seat assignments on rebooked flights (airline’s fault) that separate my toddler and me when we fly home tomorrow. We will ultimately sit together, I know, but they won’t deal with it over the phone. I’ll have to go to each gate and get it changed, traveling alone with a squirrely toddler and very little time on the layover before the second flight.
I’ve not been impressed with AA on international flights either and really liked British Airways. When DS was an infant, we paid extra for AA bulkhead seats to have a bassinet and got onboard only to learn that they had already given the bassinet (only had one per flight) to someone else. Totally went according to plan with BA. Among other things, BA gives lots of pre-boarding time and gives you a seatbelt to secure your lap infant to the adult. (Still not as safe as in their own car seat but it’s better than nothing.)
What’s your favorite family-friendly airline? I’m keeping this to mostly those with service in North America and some in Europe/North American flights. Multiple voted allowed.
I’ve pulled airlines from these two blog reviews: https://www.playlikemum.com/family-friendly-airlines/ and https://www.google.com/amp/s/thepointsguy.com/guide/best-domestic-airlines-for-family-travel/amp/.
