How anybody flies without noise-canceling headphones these days is beyond me.

I just had a 9 hour flight where both bathrooms were plugged and aisles were completely covered in puke because this kid got so sick, and refused to throw up into a bag. Every time he got sick he ran from his mom and threw up somewhere else on the plane

Left flight with puke on my backpack and shoes. Whole back of the plane was vomiting throughout the flight due to the smell. Nobody could use the bathrooms for the last 3 hours of the flight

My noise cancelling headphones were not effective

Dude. How did the fucking marshals not step in? Allowing anyone, child or not, to repeatedly spread bio hazard on other passengers is not ok. One time? Fine, kids are gross and things happen. Repeatedly? That kid is a terrorist.

Canada to Germany flight. Not much can be done while you are flying over Greenland.

The kid was mentally ill. I blame the mother. She tried to wash a blanket or something in the sink, clogging the entire plane. People were pissing into bottles

Surprised this didn’t make the news really. It barely sounds like a true story

Believe it or not but not everyone is from the US. Flight marshals are mainly a US thing

Yeah I’ve always had pre flight anxiety, all the “what ifs” going through my head

I actually didn’t think it could ever be so bad. Forever scared to fly ever again…

I’m taller than average so it already sucks but last year I had three flights IN A ROW where I got placed behind somebody who was obsessed with leaning back in their seat. Like they’d lean back as much as the seat would let them which was already painful but then they’d try and push it more and more and jump back into the seat which was only hurting my knees more. One was 6 hours and I literally could not sleep 1 second because of the pain. three DIFFERENT people did this! Noise cancelling headphones did not help.

Yeah I know it barely even sounds like a true story, but it really happened

Vancouver to Frankfurt via condor, Aug 3.

Anyone here remember the scene from team America where he vomits endlessly? It was sort of like this. The kid probably lost 50 lbs that flight

noise-cancelling headphones don’t help with crying babies unfortunately, just hums & buzzes like the engines, HVAC system, etc.

I kind of assume people are listening to music or something with the headphones on. That does a good enough job to drown out all sounds for me. If you just put on noise-canceling headphones, turn them on, then don’t play anything… yeah… not going to be super effective at filtering out crying babies.

They’re good at cancelling out deep grumbling noises but purposely let through high tones so users can hear fire / safety alarms ringing. Unfortunately baby’s screaming is more similar to the latter and cuts right through to your ears

It still takes the edge off… I have two little sirens myself.

Overpriced. And then you need them for every member of the family :)

And they also might not work well enough

Or just suck it up and be and adult instead of complaining about literal babies 24/7. Go back to r/childfree
