PARENTS LEAVE BABY BEHIND AT AIRPORT CHECK-IN

Two parents were detained by police after they left their baby at the airport check-in. The couple arrived at the Ryanair check-in at Israel’s Ben-Gurion Airport to board a flight back to Brussels, Belgium. However, they didn’t have a ticket for their baby. Ryanair charges a flat rate fee of just 25 euros (US$ 27) for an infant to travel on their parent’s lap. If parents don’t want their infant to travel on their lap, they can use an approved car seat but they must pay for a separate seat for the car seat to be strapped to. After they refused to pay for another seat, the couple then sprinted off toward security, leaving the infant behind in a baby carrier. Airport staff noticed what had happened and contacted the police, who took the parents in for questioning. They reportedly claimed they were going to deal with security and simply left their baby behind while they figured it out. It was not clear if the couple and baby eventually made the flight.
* So it’s true – NOBODY likes babies on planes.
* Israel is supposed to have the safest airport in the world. Why would you NOT leave your baby there?
* Leave the baby behind. It can keep occupied riding the luggage carousel and checking out the airport liquor stores.
* Baby in a car seat. Isn’t that what the overhead luggage bin is for?
* At that age, the baby probably hasn’t built up enough rewards points for his own ticket.
