DELTA Disaster

Well, we are FINALLY here in NYC!! And right now sitting in my sister's very small but CUTE NY apartment...getting ready to go to the park. But....more info and pics to post about day one later...first let me tell you about our flight experience. When we headed out to the airport with all our luggage (and yes we have a lot....bad packers I guess) I knew we would have lots of fun stories to tell just by traveling for the first time with kids and two under two!! But what I DIDN'T expect was what we did experience. After a long line at security (where Angel was very confused why we had to take off her shoes), we made it onto the flight and settle onto a long red eye flight ahead....there wasn't an empty seat on the plane. About two hours into the flight (after changing pee pee outfits and diapers and getting kiddies to sleep)...the flight attendant came over to tell us that she was going to have to separate us because two small children could not sit next to each other on our laps due to lack of oxygen supply in case of emergency!! We couldn't believe it...to make a long story short and AFTER lots of stern questioning from my husband....we had to wake up our girls and others around us to be moved several rows up and separated in the aisle seats. I was tired and upset....was angry that this was even an issue after we had booked the tickets with them knowing this and they waited so long in the flight to move us. So after too much arguing and some tears...we decided to try and "rest" and just get through the flight.....a very long, warm and tiring flight....but we safely made it to NYC and to family and I guess that is the most important thing....right?? Although, I have a feeling DELTA will be hearing from my hubby.....I am not looking forward to the rest of our flights being "separated!"
