A flight delay due to an unruly toddler aboard a plane has sparked online debate about how airlines and passengers<\/a> should react when midair mayhem occurs.<\/p>\n

An unhappy passenger took to Reddit recently to express dismay about a one-hour flight delay because of an uncontrollable toddler on a flight in Sweden.<\/p>\n

“When the crew were preparing for takeoff, a 3-year-old child couldn’t be made to sit in his seat,” the person wrote.<\/p>\n

After “much screaming from the child,” the parents<\/a> were reportedly asked to deplane with the toddler.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The flight was delayed further as the crew removed the family’s luggage and prepared the aircraft for takeoff again, the original poster said.<\/p>\n

“We just want to get home … and [these] incompetent parents make us late, make people miss connections, cause delays for the airplane and crew, etc.,” the Reddit user continued.<\/p>\n

“I would seriously pay extra to go on adult-only flights,” the poster added.<\/p>\n

FLIGHT ATTENDANTS BEG TRAVELERS TO STOP DOING THE ONE THING THAT ANNOYS CREWS MOST<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Experts weighed in on the viral debate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to disorderly tots, the safety of the passengers<\/a> is the crew\u2019s main concern, said Diane Gottsman, an etiquette expert based in San Antonio and founder of The Protocol School of Texas.<\/p>\n

The airline likely had no choice but to delay the flight, said Gottsman, noting that the ability of airlines to resolve an issue quickly is essential.<\/p>\n

Parents should plan ahead when traveling with toddlers,<\/a> said Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel industry expert and author of the blog “View From the Wing.”<\/p>\n

“Be ready with snacks. Pack more activities than you think you’ll need. Buy extra space if you can,” he advised.<\/p>\n

He also suggested easing screen-time limits during travel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Other passengers mostly get it if a baby cries, as long as you\u2019re obviously trying [to address the issue by] feeding, walking, soothing, rotating toys and adjusting seats,” he said.<\/p>\n

Frustrated flyers should speak with the flight attendant, not the parents, said Leff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As heightened as things may already be, adding your own confrontation could make things worse,” he said.<\/p>\n

Several social media users said they’ve experienced similar situations with air travel<\/a> and felt sympathetic about the issue.<\/p>\n

“I had [a] child like this, and we just didn’t travel for almost 10 years,” a Reddit user said.<\/p>\n

“My kid causing disruption to an entire plane would be my worst nightmare,” the commenter added.<\/p>\n

“I understand it’s annoying and frustrating, but this is a small snippet of that child’s behavior, and we have no way of knowing if it is the norm,” another user said.<\/p>\n

“A 3-year-old melting down isn\u2019t a customer service issue. You can just \u2018manage\u2019 into silence,” yet another person said.<\/p>\n

Not all air travelers<\/a> were as understanding, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s not a kid problem, that\u2019s a parent problem,” read one heavily upvoted Reddit comment.<\/p>\n

Another Reddit user agreed, saying, “Don’t take your toddlers flying if you can’t get them to behave.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
