How anybody flies without noise-canceling headphones these days is beyond me.
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.
Believe it or not but not everyone is from the US. Flight marshals are mainly a US thing
Recalibrate your irony sensors.
Literal nightmare fuel
Really though this is probably the worst experience you'll ever have on a plane.
Should have gotten Bose.
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.
Im gagging just thinking about it. Ok, i will forever bring a facemask plus aromatic salts with me everytime i do an intercontinental flight!
In business class, no less. Like come in you rich dorks, you have no excuse to be prepared for this shit.
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.
Or just suck it up and be and adult instead of complaining about literal babies 24/7. Go back to r/childfree
