2 people just "uninvited" from our flight

Every time multiple people have asked to see their ticket in a very nasty way, told us we had to move to other seats etc.. I think they think they can get a seat free by moving the child to your lap even when they are a paid passenger. The worst for this was United who seem to have a policy of harassing people with kids in car seats on the plane

Exactly. Or, even with a slightly older kid. The worst is when they will not let parents/kids sit together. I had a mom give me her kid once as she figured I was her best bet as I had my own. I wasn't willing to be separated from my kid so I took hers. People are lucky if these things don't happen to them. Sometimes travel is not a luxury or option if you have a family emergency, death, or medical appointment. They should but fun or business travel first.

My kid is 16 now and maybe FAs and crew are more clued in these days - but every time I brought a car seat for my son in his own paid-for seat, I was given the side-eye by the FAs. And at least in one case we were told we weren't allowed to use the car seat on a plane. They eventually relented when we refused to let our kid fly in our laps.

I will check a bag when airlines stop losing bags. Until then, my spinner + backpack are coming on board with me

It should all be free. It used to be.

It was never free. It was “included.”
The airlines decoupled it so that now you only pay for what you need. I actually like this I took a lot of overnight trips and I’m glad my flight is $30-$50 cheaper than it would be if I needed to check a bag.

I witnessed this first hand. Poor foreign young girl freaked out and had to book another flight.

This!

Was this in Atlanta?
