A passenger couldn't believe the 'audacity' of a mum on their flight after she asked them to swap seats so she could be next to her toddler.

They added: "The combination of a sleeping pill and the fact that she was very well behaved made it a very pleasant trip. The mother made a nuisance of herself a bit, likely as
