    How anybody flies without noise-canceling headphones these days is beyond me.

      I just had a 9 hour flight where both bathrooms were plugged and aisles were completely covered in puke because this kid got so sick, and refused to throw up into a bag. Every time he got sick he ran from his mom and threw up somewhere else on the plane

      Left flight with puke on my backpack and shoes. Whole back of the plane was vomiting throughout the flight due to the smell. Nobody could use the bathrooms for the last 3 hours of the flight. Even two of the stewardesses were crying by the end

      My noise cancelling headphones were not effective

      Overpriced. And then you need them for every member of the family :)

      And they also might not work well enough

      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
