Social media users are demanding child-free flights after a passenger recorded the non-stop cries of a baby during his 29-hour trip.
Henry Beasley, known as @balubrigada on TikTok, shared a video a couple of years ago about his lengthy flight from New Zealand to Germany.
In the video, Beasley captured his bewildered reactions as a baby continuously screamed in the background. He even added a text overlay that said, "Rate my 29-hour flight to Berlin."
As the exhausting journey continued, Beasley sarcastically commented on the child's impressive vocal abilities and joked about the "nice long one" amidst the guttural screams in a second clip.
A tick started to form in Beasley's left eye as he desperately chewed gum to cope with the never-ending noise, which he compared to the sound of a boiling kettle.
On social media, the video of the crying toddler had an incredible 14.5 million views and 2.8 million likes. In the comments area, a lot of individuals offered their condolences to Beasley.
One person humorously remarked, "That eye twitch though! Thank goodness you're alright."
Another person commented, "Wow, 29 hours of that?
It sounds like the child is experiencing a medical emergency."
A third user shared their own experience, saying, "That's why I waited until my child was older before letting them fly.
We need to consider others!" A fourth person added, "The flight attendant should step in and ask the parents to control their child.
The other passengers paid for a pleasant flight, it's not fair.” Some users were quick to acknowledge the challenges of parenting a baby on a flight.
One person even emphasized how overwhelming and embarrassing it would be for the parents.
They described it as tiresome and embarrassing, emphasizing again how embarrassing it really is.
Those who thought "child-free flights" ought to be implemented, however, made recommendations.
Those who would rather not bring children on long-haul flights would be accommodated by these airlines.
"I totally agree, we need adult only flights," a Facebook user expressed. "I didn't pay for a flight to endure kids screaming and kicking the back of my chair throughout the entire journey.
And let's be honest, good parenting is often a concern in these situations!
Another user chimed in, expressing their opinion on child-free flights. They believe that it should be an option because some children simply don't need to be around adults.
Another user agreed, stating that there should be flights where no kids under the age of 10 are allowed.
Interestingly, there are already airlines that offer child-free flights. Corendon Airlines, owned by Turkish, is the latest to announce that they will have an adults-only zone on their planes.
Passengers over the age of 16 can enjoy a peaceful journey in this section.
Of course, this upgrade comes at a cost, but it's relatively affordable to secure a seat in the adults-only section on their Amsterdam to CuraƧao route, which is serviced by a 432-seat Airbus a350.
The front zone of the aircraft, which will be divided from the remainder of the cabin by walls and drapes, will have 93 seats accessible in total.
Passengers will need to pay €45 () each way to enjoy the privilege of sitting there, which is a pretty reasonable price considering the 10-hour trip.
Atilay Uslu, the founder of Corendon, mentioned in a statement that they always strive to cater to the different needs of their customers.
This program can also help parents who are taking little children on flights, allowing them to enjoy the journey without worrying about their children being noisy during takeoff or landing.
It's worth noting that Malaysia's AirAsia, India's IndiGo, and Singapore's Scoot Airlines also provide child-free or "quiet" zones.
