Airline Refuses To Let Dad Board Plane With Baby, Doesn’t Realize That Won’t Stop Him
He couldn’t believe the situation he was in. He was completely stranded. He had nowhere to go and it was starting to get late. He thought about what had happened again, trying to make sense of it all.
He had boarded his plane, thankful to be on his way back home when it happened. He had stepped onto the plane and found his seat. As he sat there a woman approached him.
She quietly informed the new dad that despite what he thought he wouldn’t be flying and that he had to follow her immediately.
Fatherhood
In April of 2018, Rubin Swift was the happiest man in the world as he headed for Phoenix, Arizona. The reason for his fantastic mood was because he had just become a dad, but life wasn’t about to be kind.
When he had heard the news he was absolutely ecstatic. It seemed that things were finally starting to go right. He was excited to become a dad and start this new chapter of his life. However, his good mood would soon be severely dampened.
Glad Tidings
Rubin had spent a long time embroiled in a legal battle but he had finally succeeded. The court had ruled in his favor, granting him full custody of his newborn daughter Ru-Andria. To Rubin, it was the best news in the world.
The ruling stated that Rubin would get full custody over Ru-Andria. Finally, Rubin would be ab;e to go to Phoenix to fetch her and take her back home, his home, back in Ohio.
He was excited to finally meet her, but fate was about to complicate things.
Off Guard
After collecting his daughter, who was a mere four days old, from the hospital in Phoenix, Rubin and little Ru-Andria headed straight for the airport. There they would finally board a plane to go back to Ru-Andria’s new, and forever, home.
He had arranged everything with the airlines in advance and had discussed everything with them at length to organize everything. When he reached the ticket officer, however, it turned out that none of that had mattered.
How And Why?
Taking an infant, especially one as young as Ru-Andria was a complicated procedure. As such, the hospital had made sure all the documentation to prove that she was fit, healthy, and able to undertake an inter-state airplane trip.
The ticket officer at Frontier Airlines, however, was telling him that it didn’t matter, and that he and Ru-Andria would not be allowed to board the plane or fly. Rubin was dumbstruck. After all the preparations, how was this possible?
