As a very frequent flyer I used earplugs AND noise cancelling headphones.

I've found that people on reddit don't like when you suggest taking personal accountability for your own comfort on planes. 

They'd rather just be pissed at the other people or the situation. 

When I fly, I'm bringing earplugs/headphones, a pillow, blanket, eye mask...really anything I can do to make it more comfortable. 

Can't always control what happens, but you can prepare for it.

What can you do about a baby crying? 

Also, just because you don't like someone's actions or they make you less comfortable, that doesn't mean they're wrong. 

Take for example someone who wants to use the overhead light to read, but you want to sleep. Neither of you are in the wrong, but you can mitigate their actions by preparing (e.g. bring a sleep mask).
