The couple, both from Sydney, were on the Gold Coast planning a day for Nama’s Birthday celebration when she received the call that they had to cancel their plans.
Nama told Kidspot: “My five year old daughter and I were vacationing on the Gold Coast. We had planned a big day for celebrating.
“But my sister called me with the worst news: overnight our dad was a passenger in an accident with another car at a major intersection in Adelaide. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
“We flew home immediately, which is the only reason why we ended up on the same flight as some of the most selfish people I’ve ever encountered.”
Nama and her son were initially placed in a row of special seats by Qantas staff. They often leave such seats open in the event of an emergency.
The row was three-way, so the couple could spread out and have more space while returning to their families in mourning.
But, after getting on the plane, they had to get off because of an emergency. “entitled family”With their baby.
Nama said, “I felt relieved to be by myself in a row with him and I was unable to stop crying.” All day.
“It is important to me that a plane lands on time. We settled down, my little boy’s face pressing against the glass, and me sitting in the middle, telling him that I was okay.
“And then just as the door was about to close, two adults with a baby stumbled onboard in a mad rush.”
After getting on the plane, the family was quite upset and demanded that the flight attendants swap the seats with the row of three in which Nama and her son were.
Nama and her son were moved by the cabin crew.
The seats they were moved to weren’t as comfortable as their original ones.
Nama stated: “Cabin crew came to me and explained to me that the couple wanted us to move to the two seats so that they could spread with the baby.”
“Oh to have such arrogance and entitlement. Boarding last, demanding where you should sit and forcing others to do the same.
“It was not a thank you. But I didn’t notice it because I noticed the first thing that I saw when I sat down was that there wasn’t a window in the row. It was a wall. It had no window.
“No window to help distract my son on the worst plane trip I’d ever be on. I know babies are important, but I was furious with the entitled parents.”
Nama was unable to control her emotions and, as the plane was about to take off, she decided that she would confront the cabin crew.
One flight attendant pulled her aside and asked her to get back in her seat. Nama was able to escape the plane in mid-air after that. The same attendant helped her to a happy ending.
She explained, “We were increasing speed to take off, but that’s when I decided to create my own fuss.
“I couldn’t get any further, as one of them calmly said, ‘Ma’am! You must be seated for takeoff.
“The crew member came to me right away when the seatbelt sign was turned off. He bent down to ask, “How can you help me?”
“He kept me in red wine for the remainder of the flight and my son in snacks, food, and even made arrangements for our bags to be located and taken off the flight first. They were at the carousel waiting for us when we arrived.
“He also came to us so we could be first to disembark. When I needed it the most, I was shown the most incredible kindness.”
The passenger was refusing to change seats in order for a family member to be seated together.
This is why sometimes switching seats can be dangerous.
