My daughter got sick on a flight, and I didn't know what to do. Thankfully, a flight attendant saved us.

"And then, my daughter, next to me, tapped my arm and said, "Mom, I don't feel good." Immediately she threw up on herself, her seat, the seatback in front of her, the floor beneath her, and me. I had no idea what to do next. Luckily, a flight attendant soon came to the rescue The flight attendants were buckled in for take-off, but gestured to me to wait. And so, there I sat in my thoroughly soiled clothes - both my daughters now crying loudly"

"Eventually, I heard the flight crew unclicking seatbelts. One came down the aisle carrying a container of airsick bags, wet wipes, and paper towels. Together, she and my daughter scraped the front of my clothing and my daughter's, so we could go to the rear lavatory to clean ourselves up as much as possible. The flight attendant doused both of us with a white powder that was supposed to kill the odor and disinfect our clothing."

A child vomited across seats, seatback, floor, and adjacent adult during taxi before takeoff. Flight attendants, initially buckled, signaled for patience, then unbuckled, brought airsick bags, wet wipes, and paper towels, and assisted in scraping clothing and moving to the rear lavatory for cleaning. An attendant applied a white powder intended to kill odor and disinfect clothing. A second attendant continued assisting nearby passengers. The crew's calm, resourceful responses controlled the situation, cleaned affected clothing and seating, comforted crying children, and used common remedies such as Vicks to help manage motion sickness and odor.
