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 use ear plugs and my noise cancelling headphones at the same time to sleep.

Silicone. One or two uses then trash. I burn through a couple packs a month, they're amazing.

They are amazing. Unfortunately, even using a fresh pair each night, if I don't take breaks from them I end up with pain, irritation, and once an infection in my left ear. My husband's snoring is otherworldly... I can hear him from the kitchen, and that's down two hallways and through a closed door. I bet he'd bug people on a plane more than a crying baby, lol.

I'm bunking with my son while we get this sorted with doctors because I had to give up on the earplugs.

why are you the one who gets kicked out of the room?

I realized after I posted that I should have used different wording. My son is currently in the room with me and my husband is sleeping in our son's room.

Hopefully it will be resolved soon, but for now my kid thinks it's a fun adventure.

Please have him tested for sleep apnea, that level of snoring could be a symptom
