A furious mum recently slammed Easyjet for banning her six year old daughter’s teddy bear from a flight.

An upset Alba Apreciado – Peris was told the teddy named Bebe was excess baggage.

Her mother Amparo Peris – Bordes on a flight from Glasgow to Stanstead was asked to pay £9 to have the teddy stowed in the aircraft hold. She refused and posted Bebe home to Cambridge.

Spanish born publisher Amparo said “I was stunned when a woman at check in said Alba couldn’t have Bebe in the cabin with her.

“She said Bebe counted as an extra bag. It was hard for me to understand, never mind explaining it to a confused little girl.

“Alba didn’t like the thought of her teddy alone in the big dark hold.”

The airline has since apologised and is refunding the postage. A spokesman said “A common sense approach should have been taken.”
