'I was told to glue face mask to my crying toddler’s face on aeroplane – she just wanted to suck her thumb' mum claims
She added that she understands that wearing a mask is a “federal mandate.”“I really don’t have words….. I’m still shaking. And pray to God no one has this kinda situation happen to them.”In a statement emailed to FOX News, Southwest Airlines said: “The federal mask mandate for travelers has been in effect since February 2, 2021 and requires all passengers over the age of two to wear a mask at all times throughout the travel journey.
“We [Southwest] appreciate the ongoing cooperation among our customers as we work, collectively, to follow the federal mandate and support the comfort and wellbeing of all who travel with us during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.” The statement continued: “As a note, customers are reminded of the federal mask mandate multiple times prior to travel. Southwest provides reminders during the booking process on our website; in pre-trip emails sent to customers prior to departure; and as a part of a customer’s Health Declaration Form that must be acknowledged during the check-in process on the Southwest app, Southwest.com, Southwest’s mobile website, and airport kiosks.
She added to Fox: “I know I never want another parent to be in tears on an airplane because their 2-year-old won’t wear a mask. “I really don’t want parents to feel like they have to hold down their child to put on a mask. I also don’t want to feel like I can’t travel with my kids by plane.”Ali Cleek was flying with Southwestern airline from Orlando to Norfolk, Virginia, with her husband and two children, four and tworecycle your facemask and stop it turning into plastic rain – join our campaign and save the planet.
