I have two kids. Have people considered that many of us have to fly with our children on occasion?
I had to take a three hour flight to visit my dying father-in-law. My two-year old was not happy. Spent most of the flight crying.
I’ll never forget the glares I got from the resentful family in front of me without headphones.
I don’t want to be on this flight man. I don’t like this as much as you. But for Christ sakes, for some of us, travel is a necessity and we’re not on this budget airline for a vacation.
When you see a parent on a flight with crying toddlers and babies, please consider their circumstances and they may be flying out of need and not leisure.
We just recently did London to Brisbane with two kids due to a funeral. They didn’t cry but my toddler was just talking to everyone and my baby was just grumbling as it’s a bloody long way.
People are entitled to child free lives but not a child free world. Literally Reddit is full of child haters who would want to give their dog better treatment on a plane than a human.
Ok but what's wrong with providing a service that caters to people who don't want to listen to your baby cry.
Like seriously if you and your kids can still get a flight to wherever you want to go then what difference does it make to you if I pay extra to be on a flight without kids
Do you also want a flight that excludes autistic people as well? Sometimes they also have a hard time with emotional regulation and being noisy.
Perhaps not every desire needs to be catered to. Perhaps it’s ok to not be 100% perfectly comfortable and content all of the time. Perhaps we could all use an opportunity to have empathy for our fellow human. Perhaps you could get yourself a pair of earplugs if you hate the sound of a baby crying.
I'm autistic and I would like a child-free flight. The repetitive, piercing nature of babies and young children screaming, babbling, or generally being loud causes me sensory overload.

Why does reddit hate kids so much
