A social media influencer has opened up about her ‘nightmare’ airplane trip with her baby when returning home after a vacation in The Maldives.
Billie Faiers, best known for her appearance on ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ reality show, shared the moment she was forced to carry her 5-month-old baby for 12 hours.
Talking about what happened on her podcast, she claimed she was denied an in-flight bassinet for her daughter Margo because the only available one was broken.
“I had a nightmare. We get on the plane and going out there we had the bassinet for Margot, which is what you get when you have a young baby,” she shared.
“Going out, it’s great because where the bassinets are you get the legroom as well, so you know with a baby you’ve got all the stuff and you’re always in and out of the baby bag.
“Anyway, we get on the flight and they’re like ‘really sorry the bassinet’s broke’. One bassinet on the whole flight.”
The reality star, who also shares two older children Arthur and Nelly with her husband Shepherd, went on: “So I had to hold Margot in my arms for 12 hours – Greg and mum helped as well. I just thought ‘please don’t do this to me’.
“She’s at the age now – she’s five months – she doesn’t want to be restricted in my arms for 12 hours, but we had no choice.”
Sam, Faier’s sister, also shared how she took a flight back to the UK with her son Edward.
“No bassinet at all and Edward is 11 months and he’s heavy. Paul and I had to hold him the whole flight because the bassinet seat was taken,” she shared.

A first world problem. I’m sure all the refugees carrying children fior days while being bombed would trade tomorrow
I feel soooo bad for her and her vacation. Rich whiny bitch
I agree 😵💫😵💫
So at the beginning the story says the bassinet is broken now it says its being used. Which is it?
Seat was being used because ppl who thought were getting 1 booked and paid for it
It was broken for her and in use for her sister if you read the article correctly.. either way who gives a shit, I haven’t even been on a holiday in 6 years..cry me a river ..
Switched to a different person and child at end.
The one where it was being used was a completely different woman with a baby boy.
That was a different flight
Oh how the other half live just being able to afford a holiday would be nice and I’d willingly hold my Grandchildren on the trip!!
Boo hoo- suck it up buttercup. I was a single mom of 3 under the age of 4 and flew cross country on my own. Whah for you! Entitled, spoiled princess. Shame on you for complaining. I thought you’d experienced a real hardship but after reading your situation, feel nothing but sadness for how entitled you are.
You don’t just get a bassinet and seat with extra leg room you have to book them .she obviously hadn’t booked the seat anyway and even if she had the the bassinet was broken ,these things happen .nothing anyone can do ,such a shame she had to sit down with her baby in her arms after a lovely holiday poor girl 🙄.
I wonder if she called “Whine”-11 for the “Waaaaambulance”
Awful mother. She needs to get over herself. Poor kids!
oh poor baby, try using a damn car seat like most people would
