...Wow. That's outrageous!!!!!<br /><br />To slap a toddler!!!<br /><br />KLM should have written back to you at the very least, and with a BIG apology. How dare she behave like that. Poor Ella, and poor you.<br /><br />Sallysallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476439.post-8555125299660813352006-12-12T16:32:00.000+01:002006-12-12T16:32:00.000+01:00I guess I never told the story here but this summe...I guess I never told the story here but this summer while flying through Schipol KLM wouldn't bring me my stroller and I wouldn't leave the help desk since I was just furious- this being the THIRD time it happened at this particular airport. The KLM customer service rep not only refused to do anything to help me, like let me ride on one of the carts for old people, but she said she was calling the airport police to arrest me for being aggressive (because the baby swatted a pen out of my hand and it flew across the counter. Not kidding). The reason I was holding Ella in my arms was because the woman actually slapped Ella's hand while she was sitting on the counter because she had pulled three brochures out of a stand. Thank god I had her name because I wrote to KLM afterwards and had all my mommy friends send letters as well. For all the good it did, I'm sure.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668499644450303275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476439.post-81322012272249973422006-12-12T11:01:00.000+01:002006-12-12T11:01:00.000+01:00They once took our pushchair into the hold and whe...They once took our pushchair into the hold and when it came out, all the plastic fittings shattered - due to the cold. That was a bit of a nightmare. They certainly don't make it easy for children to travel. Secretly I suspect that they aren't too keen on it, so deliberately don't make it too easy. They don't like the coke spillages and the constant loo runs. We seemed to have countless journeys back and forth to home when we were living away leaving aeroplane seats covered in coke, sandwiches and anything else available to the kids on the flight. At eh end of the flight, we used to avert our gaze from the staff and leave very quickly, gathering children en route. Happy days!<br /><br />Glad you arrived safely!<br /><br />Have a great trip!<br /><br />Sallysallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476439.post-11297519890877915862006-12-12T00:14:00.000+01:002006-12-12T00:14:00.000+01:00Glad you arrived safely.

By the time no. 3 came along you could bring the stoller to the plane and it would be potluck whether it would be there apon arrival!<br /><br />My worst experience was travelling home from Olando. We were stuck in Gatwick for 8 hours so were 9 hours away from Dublin (1 hour flight) and 8 from Orlando having been awake for 24 hours. Not pleasant, it took us over a week to recover.Beccyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911316644797253921noreply@blogger.com
