We recently returned from a week-long vacation in Cuba. It [...]

In one of the posts, I provided information on airline breastfeeding policies and was baffled by Air Transat’s comment that breastfeeding during take-off and landing would not be possible due to the holding position required by Transport Canada.  The link that [...]
