The couple tried to board a Ryanair flight from Tel Aviv to Brussels, but they did not have a ticket for the child. They refused to pay for the ticket and apparently left the baby in the stroller on their way to passport control.

“These passengers, traveling from Tel Aviv to Brussels, came to check-in without a booking for their infant. They then proceeded to security, leaving the baby near the front desk. The check-in agent at Ben Gurion Airport contacted airport security, who picked up the passengers and it is now a matter for local police,” a Ryanair spokeswoman said.

The airport staff noticed the incident and contacted the police, who found the parents and took them away for questioning.

According to Ryanair's website, "Infants may be included in a flight booking during the online booking process." When planning to travel with an infant, a pop-up message appears on the site stating that a fee of $27 - or the equivalent in local currency - is charged for each one-way flight that the child makes while sitting on an adult's lap. The seat must be paid separately if adults want the child to ride in a car seat. CNN.

“A couple and a baby with Belgian passports arrived on the flight at Terminal 1 without a ticket for the child. The couple also missed their flight because check-in was closed. The couple left the child seat with the child and ran towards the security checkpoint in Terminal 1, trying to get to the boarding gate,” the Israeli airport authority said.

The Ryanair counter manager said everyone was in shock. “We've never seen anything like this. We couldn't believe what we were seeing," he said.
