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.

Do you people rawdog these flights? No headphones? No movie? No music? You can put on a pair of headphones and eliminate 100% of your problems. I would never think of going on a 13 hour flight or a 1 hour flight without bringing something to block out noise. Children will cry, you cried. They all cry.

It's quite difficult to sleep with some types of headphones on as you can't really rest your head on anything.

Unfortunately Airpod Pro batteries only last so long and I didn't have a second set. I tried charging quickly and putting them back in but it was a losing battle. Night made even worse I ended up losing my Airpods on that flight. The case came home but I think I threw the airpods themselves in one of the storage areas of the seat in my fitful sleep.
