This Mom Melted the Hearts of Fellow Travelers

December 1, 2014 By Andrea Smith Leave a Comment

Airplane mom

There are two things sure to bring a frown to the face of an airline traveler; notice of a flight delay and a passenger with a baby heading towards your row. So, when a woman carrying a small baby in a pouch on her chest made her way into the row ahead of mine on a flight last week, the other passengers near me and I all looked at each other with that look; “Oh no,” we said with our eyes, “a baby!”

The lesson she taught me made me realize that I don’t have to wait to be asked to help, I should offer help and assistance if I can. In fact, we could all be a little more considerate and thoughtful of people traveling with young kids, especially during the busy holiday travel season.
