Brette Cowen and Andrew Hoffman were vacationing in Cancun with their child Lennox when they fell ill.

They were removed from their WestJet flight home after falling ill with suspected food poisoning.

The family says they were told they could see a doctor later at the hotel they stayed at, something they couldn't wait for as their sickness worsened.

Air passenger rights experts say while what WestJet did is allowed, it wasn't very courteous to the sick family.
