We offered her a refund and that this behavior is not something we deem acceptable fro our customers and especially our youngest customers.

United Airlines released a statement saying that, “Young families are welcome on our flights and also on our business class flights. We are currently reviewing the incident and the flight attended is currently on suspension pending the whole investigation.”

Bala later updated her post that she has spoken with many United Airlines’ representatives like captains and crew members and they have all been nice. The only one who remains unapologetic is the crew lady Linda for some reason. She also said that Airline is also reviewing this incident to make sure that flight attendants don’t make up rules to create inconvenience for passengers.
