Throwing a Fit
We all happened to be seated next to someone that we were not so keen on. Having around a small child that cries all the way, a toddler that throws a tantrum because they are tired and bored, or a spoiled child kicking your seat, is not the most pleasant flight experience, and we bet everyone has a horror story about something like this. Yet, people generally take it like champs, enduring the crying from babies (thank God for noise-canceling headphones) or talking to the parents in the case of older children.
However, there are some people who cannot deal with it as we all do, and this may just cost you a seat on the plane. Forever.
It happened on a JetBlue flight back in 2019, where a woman saw that she was about to fly all the way to Las Vegas seated next to a three-year-old. Needless to say, the woman did not grin and bear it, after all the kid could have been very well mannered. That was not the case for the lady who started screaming her head off. According to other passengers, she started verbally abusing the crew members, other passengers that got involved, and even spit at some people. Everything ended with the woman being kicked off the flight and facing battery charges because yes, she hit a JetBlue agent, and the whole ordeal delayed the flight for two hours.
So, keep in mind that kids throwing tantrums may not be blacklisted by airlines, but if a grown person does it, they will not hesitate to bar them from ever flying again!
