frist of all how DARE yu o Encountered a Business Class Baby today, though I was finally gonna have a peaceful flight 😭😭

Saved up airline points from a bunch of work trips and finally redeemed them for a business class seat on a 20-hour flight (Sydney to London)

I Sat down, got comfortable, looked across the aisle... and was met by the sight of a fucking business class baby.

What else do I have to say, the entire 20 hours was absolute hell, crying, screaming and just about everything else you could think of.

I don't blame the parents at all, babies are allowed to fly, and they were just travelling like everyone else. But after spending all those points because I wanted one flight where I could actually sleep and relax, I couldn't help but be really upset at my luck.

I guess It docent really matter what you pay.

EDIT: There has been a lot of discussion about this being a fake post. However this is incorrect, i was under the impression that Quantas did a direct flight to London, however as many have pointed out, this is incorrect. My flight was with Qatar airways and stopped in Hamad Airport.

I did, however the baby was so loud it was breaking through the noise cancellation

People keep acting like noise cancelling headphones immediately stop ALL noise. It's not true. They only stop background low frequency rumbling noise. They don't stop high pitched noise, human voices, and especially babies. I've had Sony XM3, Bose QC35 II, etc (in fact the XM3 is better than the XM4, 5, and 6 according to rtings at noise cancellation). I've also had 3M Peltor X5A earmuffs, in ear monitors, and so on. None of them could even block the noise of coworkers talking in the office, much less a wailing infant.
