Melissa Sotomayor shared a harrowing experience aboard United Airlines, where she claims crew members forced her to remove her son's ventilator despite presenting medical documentation. Traveling with her medically fragile 21-month-old son, Sotomayor described multiple confrontations with crew members who contacted the captain when she refused to comply. An hour delay ensued, leaving her feeling humiliated and unheard. Following the incident, United Airlines issued an apology. Sotomayor called for others to avoid flying with the airline, criticizing its judgmental attitudes.
Melissa Sotomayor recounted her experience on United Flight 1349... that the crew insisted she remove her son's ventilator, despite having medical documents.
'Flying home, several flight attendants and the captain tried to demand that I remove my son from his vent... I told them all that those pieces of medical equipment are keeping my son alive.'
'I was really upset by the way we were humiliated in front of others and the way we were talked to,'... adding that she got 'no apology' from crew members.
'Do not fly United Airlines. They are very judgmental,' Sotomayor said in a TikTok post.
