Airline Charges Mom $500 For Reclining Her Seat, So She Speaks Out

When Caroline boarded the plane to California that day, she had no idea that she would get into an argument that would set her savings account back hundreds of dollars.

And the craziest part was that it all started when she simply reclined her seat, as she had done on every other flight she had been on in her life.

The airline would soon regret charging her with such a ridiculous fine…

Caroline Needed a Change In Her Life

Caroline was a travel agent working in the small city of Scranton, Pennsylvania. She had been born there and lived there all her life. But she’d always dreamed of moving to the west coast. She longed for the warm weather and beautiful scenery. She decided it was now or never.

She was going to find a way to get to California.

The Unexpected Happens

But then, something unexpected happened. Caroline became pregnant. She hadn’t planned for this but had always wanted to be a mother. Unfortunately, the child’s father skipped town and left Caroline alone with the task of birthing and raising a child.

Caroline was scared but determined to be a good mom.

Caroline Gives Birth

Thanks to the support of her family and friends, Caroline eventually gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Caroline named the baby Thomas, after her grandfather. Together, Caroline and baby Thomas made quite the pair. Caroline felt a sense of meaning like she had rarely felt in her life before.

But She Still Has Big Plans

Nonetheless, Caroline still dreamed of living in California and decided if she was ever going to move, now was the time, before baby Thomas was old enough to begin school. So Caroline aggressively applied for travel agent jobs in California.

She had a few interviews and responses but no job offers…yet.
