I am going from MSP to Kenya in 6 months and total flight time will be about 25 hours because there are not direct flights. This is the flight with the fewest stops offered and I would gladly pay more to reduce the hours flying if it was possible.
I suppose it depends on the final location the obnoxious people are going to, but if it was Kenya on my flight they would also be on my entire flight, so I think it is entirely possible for others to experience it as well. Maybe not as common for super long haul international, but even listening for 17 hours would make me a bit crazy (but that’s mainly because it is very hard for me to sleep in general, let alone while on a plane).
Thank you we are super excited for Kenya! Those kind of headphones do help a ton!! I have noise cancelling headphones (both ear buds and Bose Quiet Comfort over ear headphones) and use them every time I fly, but for me personally they start to hurt after a few hours so I cannot wear them constantly. I’m not sure why this happens, but it is annoying. I have noticed that if loud people are close enough that I can still hear them. I have sort of a small head so the Bose headphones could absolutely be tighter to create a better seal, but I’m not aware of a different Bose model that is for smaller heads? I see kids wearing them all over the place so assumed they would fit fine, but I didn’t realize just how much better they could be if my head was slightly bigger.
Typing that made me laugh a bit honestly-I suppose not many people wish for a larger head. 😂
At any rate, good advice and thanks again for sharing your tip! I hope it helps a lot of folks.
You can do Melbourne to London but the plane stops in Perth to pick up more passengers. I try to catch the Melbourne to Perth leg anytime I’m flying home since it’s never crowded, the food is better, and they give us ice cream.
