To be amazed this family were allowed on the flight (Ryanair)

I cannot imagine ever getting on a flight with DC that unwell. Poor kid should have been in bed. I would have been too concerned for them and everyone else on the flight.

I hope that’s not us you’re talking about 😂 Back in 2017 we flew to Singapore. My daughter has stomach issues which make her sick (not infective) and vomited continually for 8 hours. We spent most of the flight in the toilet 🤦🏻‍♀️

I became quite unwell on a flight once, I had an ovarian cyst rupture likely due to pressure changes on take off. Within 20 minutes I had been sick and was in a heap on the floor where the cabin crew sort food. I'm sure there were probably passengers panicking but I was removed asap to the back of the plane.
It was a horrible horrible experience, and I was horrified about being sick the most.
But I wouldn't board a plane if I knew my DC was ill, it's not even about stopping people boarding for being sick, it's obvious in this case there was strong chance it would be contagious and if they did have a medical condition with a fit to fly they'd have arranged for the child to be seated so they weren't as close to other passengers as physically possible.

Yes mine did last week

That's utterly grim. Airlines ought to be required to automatically change your ticket to 24 hrs later, and meanwhile ban vomiters from flying. I wonder what the staff associations/unions think about this (cabin crew and cleaners).

The flight crew make an announcement asking passengers to refrain from eating peanuts etc.

I think a small child who looks unwell and is vomiting multiple times is quite different to a pregnant woman who looks queasy. And tne airline could question her and if she tells them she’s pregnant, their risk to take.

Clearly this kid was not pregnant.

But there’s lots of allergies. Why single out peanuts?

If he’s chundering throughout a long flight… what about the poor passengers seated inches from him

Because many people will openly eat nuts and not care.

Im also very surprised. There are signs everywhere saying they can say no to boarding if youre ill. Poor little boy too.

How do I know that you’re gripping your epi pen and how do I know what your allergic to?

Each case would be individually assessed.

In this case it seems that the boy and his family should not have been allowed to fly.

Not if they’re going to puke and ruin the flight for others… nope. Get the ferry

No - that’s not the alternative. Pregnant women prone to vomiting take evidence of pregnancy - if visibly pregnant, you’re foolish if you don’t take a fit to fly letter anyway.

To be honest I don't think I would want to take my child on a plane if they were vomiting.

Bad....my friend and her daughters contracted norovirus on a flight; there was a passenger whose child was visibly unwell and vomiting, but as she said what can you do? Could never prove thats where it came from.

Again unless you have a doctors letter or credible evidence that you aren’t diseased/ drunk, how can the airline tell and why should they risk the safety and wellbeing of everyone else? It’s the greatest good of the greatest number.

If you know anxiety makes you sick then prepare in advance by taking a doctors letter, a basin/ receptacle and extra clothes!!

@sickflight87
Some entitled thickos have no social awarenes seeped in bluffness and assume that no-one will never have the nerve to tell them NO!

Yeah, pregnant women should stay at home for months, just in case they would have to throw up on the travelling day.

No one likes being around sick people, but the alternative would be compulsory temperature checks at the airport - and still many people would just dose up and go anyway.

What about if it's due to anxiety because they're scared of flying? Should they just never go anywhere?

Yes. Man who ate peanuts when asked not to next to my young nephew was well served when nephew vomited all over him, vomited so much he blocked the plane loo and faced serious prospect of diversion to land earlier.

Luckily nephew was ok - but he took to warning people in the future what was likely to happen if they didn’t listen to flight crew.

My DD started vomiting on our back home from Thailand been travelling ages and we’re at Dubai when she started and even though I was 99% sure it was because she was shattered, Emirates and us made the decision not to fly back to the UK before she had been checked and had a fit to fly certificate. She was fine within a few hours, had a nap something to eat and drink and we were on the next flight. At the time it was awful as you just want to get home, but imagine if it was something really serious like a dodgy appendix as well as not spreading all those germs.

I’d be inclined to get a doctors letter confirming what happens when he’s anxious and just take it with you. That’s what we did in similar circumstances.
