User u/takeme2themtns recently shared a nightmare travel story in the r/Delta subreddit.

"In typical Delta fashion, they just switched up our seats and placed my toddler in a row away from us," they wrote.

Having a young child or toddler seated away from you while traveling is just a complete No-Go for many reasons.

The Department of Transportation is looking to make it illegal to for airlines to charge parents and children fees to sit together.

Parents and children under 13 would be required to be seated side by side or immediately adjacent, and if not, they'd get a full refund or free rebooking.
