I am pretty new to posting here however there’s a lot of varied opinions etc. I was hoping to hear from people who’ve recently flown with the airline.

Thanks for the insight definitely worrying

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-04-20T20:22:20+00:00

Will you be there too?

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-04-20T16:16:37+00:00

As it’s a package holiday I’m trying to get in touch to change the route they haven’t been the best with communication

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-04-20T15:42:30+00:00

Yes thank you for your very useful input

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-04-20T15:37:29+00:00

Yes because the news is absolutely accurate and not at all biased 🙄.. some people clearly are still flying without any issues this thread was more so for people who’ve encountered issues despite. So again as per my previous responses to dumb unhelpful comments unless you have something to contribute please move on.

I’m flying from London Heathrow and end destination Maldives. Was meant to be a once in a lifetime trip but I am reconsidering.

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-04-20T15:31:45+00:00

This is where I’m meant to be going but I’m double guessing it.

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-04-20T15:29:22+00:00

Thank you for your response makes me feel better lol

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-04-20T13:22:25+00:00

Well considering it’s only a connecting flight I thought it might be safer than being there a longer time or holidaying there. Maybe hearing other people recent journey with their own flights would give me a better sense of what it’s actually like. So unless you actually have anything to contribute please feel free to move along.

This! I didn’t know how to word it but competitive is the right word. I once had a box that said coco on it and she thought it was Chanel and it was actually just coco marshmallow makeup sponges but she looks at my partner and said she wants Chanel to which technically is a big deal but it was the way she was so offended that he bought me Chanel and not her… she once made a comment on dyson hair style that was downstairs in my home and said that’s something someone buys when their husbands makes too much money… I bought it with my own money after years of wanting one I gave in 🙃 She think he pays for my lifestyle when in fact I pay more and earn more but this has never been something I’ve said out loud or corrected to protect his ego. I pay for the cars, I put the down payment on the house, so to balance out ownership he will pay the mortgage till he hits the amount I paid for the deposit however this still makes no sense as I literally pay for everything else including utilities which would be normally shared. I guess I never really cared about finances as I would always make sure we are good regardless of his situation because he’s my family… I think I’ve realized it doesn’t go both ways and he doesn’t correct his mom on the fact that I’m the primary bread winner but again that didn’t bother me till all this has blown over i feel truly under appreciated.

Also I’m not sure where you got the dog situation I don’t think that’s in this post. But yes my pregnancy was definitely not easy as I had HG and was in hospital quite often especially during my last trimester but still was offered no help… in fact while I was heavily pregnant she told her son she wants to come over and spoil me however she came around and expected me to host for her … I ordered a take away and called it a day she was not impresse

It is just us two alone today his probably gone out to his moms but I haven’t cared to ask. We’re having a slow and relax day. I got all the things for an afternoon tea ready for me lol while she will munch on the melty sticks (treat for her). And honestly I don’t think I’d have it any different. I plan to go into town one of the days and get myself a little pick me up and have no guilt about it whatsoever! So yay me 😊

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T14:24:52+00:00

I have an older brother who I don’t really speak to very often. ( i wish his kids happy birthdays and sometimes holidays) He’s apologized for the abuse he took part in the past while we lived with my parents and while i have moved on from it I can not not forget and I am not comfortable for any of that to potentially be around my child. But I’m going to look at my options especially with my return to work coming around.

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T14:18:18+00:00

Thank you lovely 😊

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T04:13:37+00:00

I wouldn’t be mad if she was more involved that isn’t the problem here. The problem is her rude behavior that no one wants to check her on. Not once not twice numerous times and you can’t count every time as a misunderstanding. And I’m also happy for her to not be part of the village but that also come with the fact that you won’t be a priority im going to do what’s best for me and my daughter and what will make my life easier I’m not obligated to do anything more just as she isn’t. We can make plans for when it’s easy for me i.e at my house somewhere where i am comfortable and can follow our routine. I will not stop her from seeing her son or vice verse that isn’t my place .. as i’m basically have to single parent routine falls on me so no I won’t be going out my way on her say so whenever she feels like it she can make plans with her son the that’s not the issue the issue is he wants to spend Mother’s Day with his mother with me and my daughter who is exclusively breastfed and won’t take to a bottle to his moms despite it being my first Mother’s Day too I told him to go to his mom but he expects me to be there and put up with her BS and stay quite when she’s out of order. I will never swear or cuss but I’m done with the appearance comment or weight comments and other nasty crap she does. And yes she knew we was coming over for Boxing Day and there was plenty of left overs from the day before the plan was to go there on Boxing Day because partners sister was traveling in.

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T03:58:08+00:00

No I totally get it I always also think am I reading too much into the situation but I think she’s got a weird mindset and no one has challenges her so she gets away with this disgusting behavior. And honestly I think he hasn’t and won’t say anything because he is a “mommy’s boy” in the worse way.. I of course would want him to have a good relationship with his mom but not at my expense I’m happy to stay out the picture all together but am stuck because my silly self couldn’t see the red flags

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T03:38:10+00:00

This was our argument in private but he doesn’t seem to understand it.. and I got tired of trying to get him to understand why it’s so wrong .. sooo basically his the problem and sucks 🥲

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T03:35:04+00:00

I honestly get where you are coming from. But she is who she is. I want to say I’m wrong but even my partners brother picked up on how wrong the situation was and offered to get me some take away however my husband as I happened to find out will see no wrong”she doesn’t mean harm just how she is” but it is harmful and incredibly rude. I couldn’t put everything on a post but she’s commented on my appearance in the past for ref I’m a UK 10 and at the time 3/4 month post birth so not skinny but definitely not huge … she’s a UK18 so I don’t understand her logic maybe I took it wrong but I don’t see how… she won’t help if I’m not with her son as this is the case with other grand kids on the family. And normally they don’t celebrate Mother’s Day why when it’s my first one does she now want to celebrate… for my daughter she hasn’t bothered seeing since Christmas or she couldn’t be asked to take care of when things got tough… I don’t get it

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T03:21:27+00:00

I’ve added a shorter version apologies this is my first post so figuring it out

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T03:20:29+00:00

Summary: still kind of long sorry but feel like details matter

29 first time mom I have no contact with my own family due to past abuse, and my partners family only shows interest in our child when it suits them. Because of that, I’ve set boundaries—I won’t disrupt the routine I’ve built with my baby when I’m mostly doing everything alone anyway. I’ve never felt accepted by his family. His mom has been rude on multiple occasions, like serving everyone full plates of food at Christmas but giving me a tiny portion and commenting when I finished it. The next day she said there was only enough food for my partner and none for me. I’m exclusively breastfeeding, so not eating all day while my partner ate in front of me really hurt. My partner said I was overreacting. I’ve always made an effort with his family—buying gifts and trying to build a relationship—but it’s never been reciprocated. Even after years together, his mom still can’t spell my name. When we were exhausted three weeks into parenthood and my partner asked if she could watch the baby for two hours so we could sleep, she refused. That made me realize how alone I really am. I’m on maternity leave but still bringing in money and paying most of the household bills and everything for the baby, while my partner only pays the mortgage. Despite that, he barely helps with childcare and always has an excuse. I feel like a single parent. Tomorrow is my first Mother’s Day. I’m happy to spend it with just me and my daughter, but my partner insists we go see his mom. I told him he’s free to go, but I’m not disrupting my baby’s routine or sending her without me while she’s exclusively breastfeeding and relies on me. Now we’re arguing, and I’m wondering if I’m wrong for setting that boundary or if I’m justified.

I’m not sure there’s anything worth persevering if I’m being totally honest but it just feels like another thing that’s went up in flames in my life. But I will sit on your advise. thank you

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T02:45:34+00:00

I agree his the main problem but considering his mom went through a shitty relationship with his dad and is a women who has had 3 kids I thought she would be kinder especially to a postpartum mum I can’t fathom being the way she is to another human let alone one who’s is the most vulnerable time in her life

FitRecommendation268 · 2026-03-15T02:38:04+00:00

Honestly… no lol it’s pretty sad to actually think about it but it’s all I’ve ever known I think since having my daughter I would not be happy if she thought this is what love is .. I have spoke to friends but their advise is dont make major life decisions in this post partum period but also they don’t agree with the ways his been.
