A heavily pregnant woman slept at a bus stop with her toddler son after Tigerair staff allegedly stopped her boarding a flight from Sydney to Melbourne, despite her having a medical certificate.
Aileen Chand nee Bourke, from Epping in Victoria, travelled to Sydney with her husband Sharneet and two-year-old son Jacob on Friday night for a weekend away before their second child is born in a matter of weeks.

At 34 weeks pregnant, 30-year-old Aileen was required to obtain a medical certificate so she could be cleared to fly from her doctor in Victoria, which the couple did.

The family-of-three boarded the TT252 flight from Melbourne on Friday night and arrived in Sydney at 5pm.
“I just wanted to give my wife a nice break before she gives birth to our second child,” Mr Chand, 31, told Yahoo7 News.
