An Ontario family who said they were kicked off a plane because one of their daughters threw up before take off is furious with the airline who then demanded they pay thousands of dollars to rebook their trip.
The family-of-four spent the night in a Hamilton hotel before their flight and drove to the airport early in the morning.
"The flight attendant talked to the pilot and then came back and said 'I'm sorry but all four of you have to get off the plane.'" Gerard said the phone number they were given was an Alberta number and because it was so early the office was not yet open. They were left waiting in the terminal until the phone lines opened a couple hours later.
But when Gerard told the airline they couldn’t afford to rebook, he said the agent told them they could now only refund his daughter’s one-way ticket.
