[QUOTE=LehavaBeing a parent with a child is not rare and if they are all allowed to go to the front of the line it would become unmanageable. Maybe what is needed is a "special needs" line and they should work to get these people through faster, but not at the cost of everyone else.

I am NOT heartless to people with kids, but I also dont think I should be punished for either not having children or for not having my child with me (if I had one).

Everything you say is quite true. Normally I would NEVER expect to jump the queue just cos of my little one. The point here was that 1. It was late 2. One of the 2 moving walkways was broken and (most importantly) 3. They refused to provide the stroller at the gate. Had problem 3 been remedied then problems 1 and 2 would have been irrelevant. The combination of all 3 was simply terrible!!

Re your problems, if you were in significant discomfort you can always ask for special assistance!!
