Family kicked off flight over son’s insect bites despite doctor’s approval
Father says they were treated 'like criminals,' but airline cites safety concerns
A family was banned from boarding their flight after British Airways staff became suspicious of insect bites on their baby's leg. (iStock)
The baby's bites were no larger than 1 cm in diameter and disappeared within 10 to 15 minutes after applying the bite cream, causing him no further discomfort, per the report. (SWNS)
Despite the family’s assurances that the rash was unrelated to allergy, the airline insisted they wouldn’t be allowed to board without a "fit to fly" letter from a doctor. (SWNS)
