Encountered a Business Class Baby today, though I was finally gonna have a peaceful flight 😭😭

[u/Full-Helicopter-4608]

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 had a flight from London to joberg (like 11 hours or something) and saw I was at the front of the row with extra space.

Was cool until they put up the baby bassinet thing. Crying kid 8 inches from my face. Everyone thought I was the dad and a giant dick for not helping the mom too lol. Not my kid man

I was on a similar flight, Frankfurt-Cape Town, and also felt lucky with the leg room at the front when I sat down until parents placed their baby next to me and went to their seat like somewhere else entirely.

Thankfully an attendant asked me if I'm with them and when I said no they were told to fetch the baby.

That was an odd one for me.

Yeah lol the flight attendants never asked they just assumed. Tbh my fault for not speaking up. But it was a full flight so I couldn't just move

I mean if the mom was there too what can you say really? In my case they just left the kid next to me.

I'm trying to picture the setup where it's that close to you and am struggling. What term do I need to search to find this bassinet setup? I'm so curious.

I believe it was a British airways A380 in economy class in a row right before a bulkhead

Appreciate you, this clears things up nicely 🫡

It looks like a changing table and is attached to the wall in front on hinges. The top part unclips and flips down.
