'I told myself, "All's well that ends well." But nope': Father goes head-to-head with incompetent airline's flight attendants who seat his 4-year-old child alone

When it comes to traveling via airplane, it always tends to be chaotic. The more layovers you have, the less organized it gets—and, depending on the airline, it can be the most chaotic no matter what. Airlines are all about the money, now, they do not care about the passenger's comfort. If you are not a top tier premier frequent flyer gold platinum big spender richy rich flyer, then you are nothing to them. It doesn't even matter if you splurged this time and paid extra for a specific seat, if you aren't spending thousands of dollars on them every month, then you are worthless.

Obviously, in my tone, you can see that I too have had some insufferable experiences while flying. It's hard to come by anyone who travels and hasn't had at least one poor airline experience. This most recent case we've come across is extra perplexing because it's like these flight attendants think a toddler should be treated just like one of their adult passengers, in fact, should be treated like their lowest tier adult passengers because that toddler isn't one of their higher paying customers…

We'll let this Redditor call out which airline, but it ain't pretty and many others chime in to share similar stories in the comments. This family was a dad, mom, baby, and toddler traveling together. Traveling with little kids is already stressful, so to make it a little easier, you book seats next to each other—and that is exactly what this family did. However, once the plane was changed to a different one, they separated the family. They moved the mom and baby together, but the dad was alone and the FOUR-YEAR-OLD CHILD was seated alone. They could not compute why this wasn't an okay thing, and the dad was not going to let this fly, PUN INTENDED. See how it all ended up below!
