An Indiana couple was removed from an Allegiant flight from Punta Gorda, Florida, to Indianapolis after a flight attendant reported their baby daughter appeared feverish. The parents say the baby was just red-faced from crying, not ill, and they were not allowed to speak to a medical professional before being escorted off the plane in front of other passengers.

This incident highlights ongoing tensions between airlines and passengers, especially regarding policies around young children and medical concerns. It raises questions about how airlines handle potential health issues and whether proper protocols are being followed to ensure the safety and dignity of all travelers.

According to the couple, their baby daughter Ellie cried for a few minutes after they sat down, then settled down wrapped in a blanket. A flight attendant then asked for their boarding passes again, and soon after informed them that Ellie had been reported as appearing feverish, with a rash. The parents say Ellie does not have a rash and her red face was simply from crying, not illness. They claim they were not allowed to speak to a medical professional before being told they had to deplane, with the threat of police intervention if they refused.

Finally. They need to make them check babies like luggage and put them in the belly of the airplane where they can cry the whole way if they want.

If you ever fly in or out of Orlando, take noise cancelling headphones. If you are fly out of Olando, all the babies are tired. They've usually been out in the heat for days at Disney or Universal and they are worn out. I doubt anything was wrong with that baby. It was doing what babies do,,,cry!
