--- Quote ---Couple leaves baby at airport check-in to avoid paying more to board flight!
Airline staff at an Israeli airport were shocked when a couple decided to leave their baby at a check-in desk, after a disagreement over having to buy a separate ticket for their child.
The incident happened at the Ryanair desk of Tel Aviv’s Ben-Gurion Airport on Tuesday, the airline confirmed.
Local news outlet KAN reported that the couple were travelling on Belgian passports to Brussels, when they discovered they had to pay extra for a seat for their baby.
Ryanair said the couple had not paid for a ticket for the child in advance.
Airport staff told local press that they had simply left their child in the baby stroller by the desk and walked on to passport control.
A Ryanair spokesperson said: "The check-in agent at Ben Gurion Airport contacted Airport Security, who retrieved these passengers, and this is now a matter for local police.”
