This mum was kicked out of first class because of her crying baby

We all know that flying with a baby can be a nightmare. 

One blogger recently travelled with her baby for the first time, and booked first class tickets for herself and her husband (and her adorable baby).

 

Being able to spend this time with my family has been amazing but it's not always as easy and happy as it seems through Instagram pictures and Snapchat. Our baby is just like any other baby, she screams, she cries, we struggle with making first time parental decisions AND agreeing on them, like do we stay on a New York schedule or put her on a LA vacation schedule, do we push ourselves to go for dinner at night even though we've been waking up every morning with her at 330 am and so on. It's an exhausting roller coaster but we are learning so much and nothing is better than this feeling, a feeling that you can't really describe for a human being that you and your husband created together. The love is something no one can really ever understand unless you have a child and it's the whole reason for living, just knowing her. Our relationship has changed but change isn't a bad thing – it's only made us as a family and a couple better + stronger. I appreciate my parents and my in laws SO much more now that I'm a parent. It's made me realize how important it is to stop for a minute and appreciate every single person you love and enjoy the ride. Sorry to be so cheesy but I'm having a moment

When Arielle Noa Charnas, who is the voice behind fashion blog Something Navy, boarded her flight, her baby was unsettled and started to cry.

"My husband and I paid for first class so that we'd have the extra space and could lay down with her," she wrote on Instagram.

 

Ruby is down for the night until we head back to NYC tomorrow. Now it's time to celebrate 2016 and the fresh new start into 2017 with my husband! Happy New Year to all of my East Coasters (My sentimental New Years post will come later tonight).

"Once we were boarded I was getting tons of eye rolls and head shakes from fellow passengers on @delta because my baby was crying (as if I could just look at Ruby and say okay now it's time to stop)."

She shared her upsetting story on Instagram, where she has almost one million followers. 

 

On our way to LA a few days ago it was my first time flying with Ruby, I had a screaming crying sleepy baby who was so overwhelmed that she couldn't fall asleep. My husband and I paid for first class so that we'd have the extra space and could lay down with her – once we were boarded I was getting tons of eye rolls and head shakes from fellow passengers on @delta because my baby was crying (as if I could just look at Ruby and say okay now it's time to stop ). I tried to ignore the people until 10 minutes passed and a flight attendant came over to me and asked me and my baby to move to the back of the plane (as if the people in the back didn't matter). Give up our seats that we paid for and move. Apparently I was upsetting and getting a lot of complaints from the first class passengers. I started crying because I was so stressed and anxious and instead of the stewardess being helpful and compassionate she instead made the situation worse. I don't know what's right and wrong when it comes to flying with a baby but after telling a few people the story they were in shock. Thoughts? We're headed back to NYC today and we're hoping for a much better experience.

Despite having paid for her first class ticket, a flight attendant asked Arielle and her baby to move to the back of the plane, "as if the people in the back didn't matter," because she had received complaints.

Despite the request, the mum-of-one refused to give up her seat, and after just a few minutes baby Ruby fell asleep- crisis averted. 

According to Arielle, the CEO of the airline contacted her husband with an apology, refunded their tickets, and gave them an additional $300 for each family member.

 

Such a beautiful night with UNICEF. Being in that room made me feel so incredibly grateful but also incredibly motivated. There is so much we can do for the children of this world and I cannot wait to get started. Please donate! Every single dollar will make a difference.  (the link is in my bio to donate)

A nice gesture, but still it is such a shame that the family had to go through such an embarrassing ordeal.
