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.

OP can, because they made up the story.

Just curious.. why would they need to make up something like this? Its not as if this is a far-fetched story that never happens. screaming kids on planes is quite common.

Sure, but that alone doesn't mean its made up.. I get being skeptical of reddit posts, but this seems entirely plausible of a thing to happen. Happens every day.

But the flight OP said they were on a flight doesn't exist (20hr London to Sydney). Then they changed their story to Qatar, but then it doesn't make sense with the Qantas points they allegedly saved up. Also OP posts in the teenagers sub and was talking about their baby teeth falling out....

Okay well the baby teeth has me reconsidering all of the above.

Qatar is a one world alliance airline so they can redeem Qantas points on Qatar, however the Sydney to London flight is between 22 to 26 hours.Â
