Calls for child-free flights after 26-hour journey with baby

Posted on February 16, 2025 By hondaredbull No Comments on Calls for child-free flights after 26-hour journey with baby

A passenger recently documented his struggle with a screaming baby during a grueling 29-hour flight to Germany, sparking widespread discussions about children on planes.

Henry Beasley, a musician and one-half of the New Zealand duo Balu Brigada, captured the ordeal on video and shared it on TikTok, where it quickly went viral. In the video, Henry humorously invites viewers to “rate my 29-hour journey to Berlin” before showcasing his reaction to the persistent cries of the child sitting nearby.

Throughout the footage, his subtle expressions of frustration—eye twitches and exaggerated sighs—reflect his mounting exasperation. Despite the ordeal, he maintains a lighthearted tone, jokingly praising the child for their “incredible stamina” and giving their “stellar performance” a “10/10” rating.

The video resonated with many, gaining over 3.7 million views and sparking debates about the challenges of flying with young children. Commenters shared mixed opinions, with some siding with Henry and expressing frustration at the parents’ decision to bring a small child on such a long flight.

One viewer wrote, “Kids don’t even remember anything from those trips. Why would anyone do that?”

Even some parents admitted that traveling with young children can be challenging for everyone involved. “I know some people don’t have the option, but I never took my babies or toddlers on flights. Ever. It’s painful for everyone,” one person commented.

Another shared an unconventional, albeit controversial, solution: “My mom used to give my brother and me cough syrup or something to make us drowsy. At least she was considerate.”

The incident also reignited the ongoing debate about child-free flights. Several commenters expressed a willingness to pay more for flights without children. Some airlines already offer child-free zones to cater to travelers seeking a quieter experience.

For example, budget airline Scoot features a “ScootinSilence” section, banning children under 12. Similarly, Japan Airlines allows passengers to view seat maps indicating where babies will be seated, enabling travelers to plan their seating accordingly.

While these options provide some relief, the debate remains divisive. Critics argue that child-free zones might not always be practical or fair. Others see them as a reasonable compromise for improving the flying experience for all passengers.

Henry’s video humorously highlights a shared travel struggle, resonating with viewers worldwide. Despite the frustration, his lighthearted approach reminds us to find humor in challenging situations, even on the longest of flights.
