So, I found this report via Breastfeeding 1-2-3 of a woman asked to leave a Delta flight for nursing, extremely shocking. The right to breastfeed on a plane has long been established. In fact, most airlines encourage it to protect the baby’s ears from cabin pressure.

This incident isn’t as much about nursing rights as it is about poor customer service. How can any sane person deny a little baby the right to eat? Or, on an airplane, the right to relieve pressure on the ears during take off and landing? The flight attendant involved in this incident has obviously made a career-ending mistake, but the level of ignorance and callous disregard for passenger safety this shows is sure to make even more people worry about flying.

Plus, with the new liquid restrictions, breastfeeding is the one feeding option that presents less security risk to everyone who flies.

I used to fly Delta for business purposes fairly often, but haven’t used the airline for a while. This incident certainly ensures I won’t be flying with them for a very long time.
