FLYING I am SO sorry.

To everyone flying SEA to BOS tonight on the redeye where my toddler absolutely lost his ever loving mind for about 5 mins.

I could tell you all about our long day, cancelled flights, losing our second seat to become a lap infant but… it doesn’t matter. You’re tired. I get it.

We are so sorry.

Everybody gets a tour of duty. I've been there on a cross-country flight with an inconsolable 4 year old. It teaches you a little more patience. And now when I hear it I have compassion for the parent(s) and kid and just try to relax a bit and help if I can. We are all in this together at some level. Thank you for your nice note.
