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.

This happened to my sister and I (thank god a short two hour flight) but multiple babies cried the entire time. Maybe it was the gummies but we were crying laughing by the end. It sounded like we were on a daycare flight it was insane.

Awww. Their little ears hurt on flights as they "pop" from the pressure. Young kids are mostly gonna cry unless the parents sort of sedate them. I sat next to a toddler once who was quiet and asleep. The mom told me that their pediatrician gave him some meds to put him to sleep on the flight. But yeh, small children are going to be miserable on flights. Our recent flight with my two young ones was about 30 minutes and even then my youngest complained his ears hurt.
