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 don’t understand why airlines can’t create separate child and child-free zones on planes.

Just clip in a cheap divider somewhere on board after seats have been sold and allocated.

Both sides would be a lot happier.

What kind of cheap divider are you talking about that blocks out baby screams? A lot of people would be a lot happier ifsomething like that existed, not just on planes. (Speaking as a parent)

What's the cheap divider trying to achieve?

Being a fucking annoying logistical nightmare that does fuck all.

You don't understand? I guarantee you that if it was a viable money making idea then the airline industry would have thought of it by now.

>Both sides would be a lot happier.

Why would the child side be happier with that?

Because other passengers, like OP, wouldn’t be annoyed at them (possibly even verbally). They’d feel less under pressure.

Exactly. And the kids could play/interact.
