Mother Marissa Rundell was aware of the challenges of flying with her baby. Like all parents of toddlers, she felt a bit anxious about traveling with her 8-month-old son Mason.
Initially, everything appeared to be going smoothly, with Mason staying calm as Marissa settled into her seat. However, things took a stressful turn when another passenger arrived.
Seated at the back of the plane like Marissa, the woman was evidently displeased with her seating arrangement.
“She came to the back and threw her things down. She said, ‘This is f***ing ridiculous. It’s bulls**t having to sit in the back of the plane,’” Marissa recounted to the Daily Mail.
Marissa requested the woman to refrain from using foul language, but her request was ignored.
“I said again, please watch your language. She told me to shut the f*** up and shove it. That’s when the stewardess came over and asked what the problem was,” Marissa shared.
Upon learning that the woman did not want to sit near a baby and was upset, stewardess Tabitha intervened.
Stewardess Tabitha patiently listened to the woman’s complaints and offered to rebook her on the next flight, which further infuriated her. She then threatened to have the stewardess fired, demanded her details, and cautioned that she might not have a job the next day!
Unfazed, Tabitha provided the rude passenger with her information.
Eventually, Tabitha decided that enough was enough and informed the woman that she had to deboard the plane. The irate passenger apologized and requested to remain on board.
Tabitha summoned an officer to escort the woman off the aircraft.
Despite the passenger’s attempts to explain herself, she ultimately returned to her seat to gather her belongings and disembarked.
On the contrary, Marissa expressed eternal gratitude for the support she received from Delta Airlines.
“The crew and staff were absolutely incredible,” Marissa commended to the Daily Mail.
