'As a parent I’m sick of adults playing victim on flights - have some empathy for kids’

Being stuck in a confined space for hours on end can be uncomfortable for any airline passenger, and many people struggle with the stuffy ordeal of sitting stationary when up in the air. Sharing a public space with so many different people can prove to be testing, and sometimes people's patience wanes and arguments ensue mid-flight.

While many of us can sympathise with parents who are trying to soothe unhappy children on a long plane journey, it's safe to say that sitting next to a screaming baby for the duration of your flight is difficult to endure. A heated debate has exploded on TikTok this week as some adults without children have been calling for child-free flights after nightmare experiences on planes, while others are branding these travellers as selfish.
