Mom Jodi Degyansky, 34, said she and her 2-year-old son were recently booted from a Southwest Airlines flight in Florida because he didn’t have on a mask.
Degyansky said she and her son were on a flight departing from Fort Myers, Fla. on Saturday when she was approached by airline staff after she said her son removed his mask for a snack.
She acknowledged that she was repeatedly told that her son was required to wear a mask due to the airline’s policy, which mandates all customers ages 2 and older wear face coverings while traveling to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Because of that, Degyansky said the plane returned to the gate and she and her son, whom she said eventually put on his mask again, were escorted from the flight.
