Airlines in America have been attracting viral backlash after a series of incidents this month.

Yesterday, United Airlines said it was “saddened” after a giant rabbit died in its care. It follows outrage at the airline after a doctor was filmed being dragged from an overbooked flight.

Last week American Airlines publicly apologised after an incident between a passenger, a baby and flight attendant was filmed.

But one passenger travelling on Canadian airline, WestJet, has praised the efforts of an onboard “baby whispering” service.

Whitney Poyntz was travelling with her four-month-old daughter, Kennedi, when “all hell broke loose”.

“Our daughter was asleep when we boarded so we figured it would be an easy peasy flight, man were we wrong,” she said on Facebook.

During the three-hour flight from Palm Springs to Calgary, the mother was struggling with an unhappy baby.
