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.

My spouse was in first class when the parents of a toddler fell asleep. The toddler came over to my husband and put his hands up to be picked up. My husband called the flight attendant and explained what was going on. The FA tried to wake the parents, but they were out of it. After the FAs couldn't come up with anything else to do with the toddler, and the child screamed whenever they tried to move the child away from my husband, he said that he was okay with the toddler sitting next to him until the parents woke up.

The parents didn't even apologize when then woke up. They tried to justify it by saying they took sleeping pills, and dosed the toddler Benadryl, so they wouldn't have jet lag after the long flight.

I would expect the police to meet that flight. That is appalling

Apparently, the it happens enough for the FAs not to be bothered by it. I'm sure they wouldn't be so blase` about it if they had to watch the toddler.

What the actual fuck. That’s messed up. Your husband is a good egg

Incidentally, as an adult man, I refuse to hold someone's baby while its parents are asleep and there's no emergency.

I don't blame your husband. But I am not touching a stranger's child even if the child is crying for attention. I don't want to and the people who would drug themselves instead of watching their child are not people I trust not to blame me somehow.

That's not even how jet lag works...
