Funny Bidness -- Delta forces conjoined infants to buy separate tickets

You should be ashamed!!! I totally agree with BurlJeanD - with the money you are making, why not donate the seats. I will walk before I fly using your airlines.!!!!!

Delta contracts with the University of Pittsburg Medical Center to screen passengers who need oxygen. UPMC communicates with the passengers' doctor who confirms that they are medically able to fly and instruct the air line as to how much oxygen is needed. The oxygen is provided in tanks, which have to be stored under the seats. If Delta Air Lines required the twins to each have their own oxygen cannula or mask, it's because their doctor required it. As to requiring the twins to purchase two seats...I'm wondering if we are getting the whole story here. The twins are only a year old, so was the mother trying to take them on as one lap child without purchasing a seat for anyone but herself, since children under the age of two are allowed to sit on an adult's lap without charge? If that is the situation, then certainly you see how it would be necessary in this situation for the twins to have their own seat. There are a lot of other considerations here, but not knowing the entire story, I can't judge the situation. Perhaps we should get our facts straight before a boycott is called for.

This is appalling. I am an agent/owner of a travel agency, d-dwhitehousetravel.com and I will not recommend clients to use Delta until such time I read or hear in the news that Delta has apologized to this family for their agents actions and a full refund for both of their children as a gift for their bad decision. It is possible that upper management of Delta was unaware of this incident at the time it happened and if so, they need to rectify it now.

The major airlines used to have so much class. You were treated like a king when you boarded and took your seat. The airlines have dropped so far so fast in class it's pathetic. Last time I flew the ticketing agent made me feel like I was bothering him just to get my ticket. Flying stinks today and I blame the airlines.

I WILL NEVER FLY DELTA AGAIN! A COMPANY THAT IS THAT HARD UP FOR MONEY MUST CUT COSTS AT EVERY LEVEL AND IS NOT SAFE TO FLY ON! THEY ARE TOTAL D**KS AND HEARTLESS! EVERYONE SHOULD BOYCOTT DELTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG...this is so sad when a corporation who takes in BILLIONS of dollars cant spare a few hundred on a seat for children, especially in this case.

Delta has had alot of controversy resently & I for one wont use them...not if they disrespect people this way!

Perhaps Denise should learn how to read! According to the report, the mother had to purchase a separate ticket for each of the infants. I will NEVER fly Delta again. They deserve to be out of business.

What do we do when we make a bad decision? Do we not try to make good on it, correct it? Well, Delta made a very bad decision in the way they dealt with this family. I hope they will live up to their otherwise good reputation and correct this mistake.

Avoid flying. Airlines could care less about their customers. Late flights, lost luggage, shoes on, shoes off, frisking old ladies in wheelchairs, no liquids, holding people hostage for hours on backed up planes etc... Now 2 tickets for conjoined twins because they MIGHT need 2 oxygen masks???Enough is Enough, it isn't worth it. Drive or don't go at all.

Unbelievable! I have just called Delta and cancelled my frequent flyer account, I have called AMEX and changed my point earned to another more compassionate airline. Delta, will you ever get it? Add another exflyer to your list. SHAME on you!
