[@michaeltroster9059]

[@mikes-b6009]

Seriously Noel you should know better than to go shoeless into the lav. You’ve flown enough and seen the mess people make with certain body fluids. Men don’t aim well and in a mild bit of turbulence they are going to miss and pee on the floor. The same floor you are stepping on shoeless. It you were out on the town and needed to use the loo would you go shoeless into the lav??? No you wouldn’t.

[@Tvsnumber1fan]

This is why you buy slippers before you fly. They are really comfortable and you don’t need to take them off during a flight unless it’s an emergency. Also you should always be ready to put your regular shoes on if there is ever an emergency landing. Lastly don’t ware high heels when you fly because they can cause the emergency evacuation slide to become unusable amongst other problems. Also I don’t recommend wearing sandals on planes because of risks involved during an emergency. Lastly always wear clothing that is made with 100% natural materials such as cotton and wool because they are less likely to burn on to your skin during a fire or when you are going down the emergency evacuation slide due to the friction.

[@Pontiacman1964]

It is why we pay extra for business class, to stay away from the crying kids, the idiots who play solitaire on the back of your seat for 8 hours, (like a chicken pecking on your back), and all the other "perks" that come with close human contact with those you don't know or necessary like. Long sentence, yes, but I feel your pain! I'll never book an airline on business class that allows children.

[@e.rayreichley2921]

I am a pilot, we know things that most people never will hear about....The rapid change in air pressure from pressurization can have extreme effects on a child's ears....Adults can mostly combat this problem by swallowing, yawning, coughing or chewing gum....this helps the pressure in the inner ear to normalize with the given air pressure, some people say it is the Popping of the ears..so to speak.... A baby is unable to do these things and has huge discomfort because of this... This is quite painful and this is why the baby screams through most of the flight....To combat this give the baby something to suck on before you take off....Like a lollipop, a pacifier, or even something to drink through a straw...I have no idea why airlines do not teach this to the cabin crews....Probably for the same reason that they tell you at the beginning of the flight, IF there is a sudden decompression of the aircraft to put your Oxygen Mask on first before you help your child, or any other people....the reason is.....at 35 to 38,000 feet without pressurization your useful unconscious time is less than 30 seconds ...(depending on your fitness and health) it can be less, before you pass out.and within a short time you will die of lack of ox. to the blood....Hypoxia ..The Flight Crew are trained to Declare an EMERGENCY to ATC, and get the aircraft to 10,000 feet or the MEA (Minimum En-Rout Altitude) as soon as possible....Basically pulling the power back to Idle, throwing out the spoilers, and descending at 2 miles a minute....To get everybody into the lower atmosphere...(thicker Air) as soon as possible....Hope this helps....Next time you fly with a child....give them something to chew or suck on....it will help...

I had a similar screaming child experience a few years ago flying Emirates Business class UAE to Manchester . The mother thought it was the flight crews responsibility to look after her young son. She brought nothing for him and was argue if with the crew when they had no toys of baby food for him. The child screamed for the whole flight while the mother ignored him. Still makes me cringe today and that flight was 10 years ago.

That’s awful, sorry for your bad experience. It’s not the kids I have an issue with. Most parents are brilliant at trying to keep the kids calm. The most frustrating is when they just completely ignore the kids behaviour.

Definitely sympathize about the baby... had the same experience for *14* hours JFK-NRT once. On that trip, the parents did at least try, for a while, but they seemed to give up after about 3 hours. At that point, the flight attendants took over and did what they could (this was ANA, so the cabin crew made a real effort), but it just never stopped, for 14 hours. That was the point when I bought my first set of noise canceling headphones. They do help.

[@kwas101]

Having been to Egypt this video does not surprise me. We landed in Cairo and headed to the baggage carousel, upon which we waited 45 minutes for our bags to arrive. This would not have been so bad, but the bags came in waves 15 minutes apart. The first wave came after 15 minutes (business class bags maybe?), then another wave of bags 15 minutes later, then 15 minutes later another wave which included ours. We left, and there were still pax waiting for their bags to arrive. The carousel was serving only our flight! On the flight out there were two guys in plain clothes (not an airport uniform) "helping" you put your bags on the xray belt. Then both (very quietly) holding their hand out for the customary tip - each! It's just Egypt and the Egyptian way of life.

[@rais1953]

I feel for the mother of that crying baby. Two years ago my daughter was on a Tigerair low cost flight across Australia to Sydney with a two-year-old, followed by a long flight to Singapore with Scoot. The little one started to get upset on takeoff on Tigerair then vomited all over his Mum and the seat. Cabin crew were wonderful, they brought a complete replacement seat cushion, cleaned everything up, helped my daughter to clean herself up, cuddled and consoled the little one and generally made the flight tolerable. I repeat, that was on a low-cost airline. Then on Scoot to Singapore, again the little one was upset and crying. Scoot has a "no kids" section that you can select for just a few dollars extra so passengers who have decided not to pay for "no kids" should understand what they have chosen. But no, when the little one was crying the passenger opposite was enraged and abused his Mum and the cabin crew were totally unhelpful. Eventually she was forced to flee to the toilet where she sat holding him until he went to sleep then back to her seat where she held him asleep on her lap until arrival in Singapore. Friends, all kinds of people need to travel and parents can not always control their children's crying no matter how much they may want to. We adults, on the other hand, should be able to control our rage. Isn't that why we claim to be adults?

[@alexspuswiss]

Whilst it's unfair to blame any children, it's really those parents who appear to be utterly unable to control their offspring. Please don't make your children everybody else's problem! If you are not certain whether or not you are capable to control your kids, please refrain from taking your children with you.

[@rais1953]

@@alexspuswiss Do you have children Sandro? Some parents have no choice in the matter. Secondly, society is not a loose collection of individuals with rights and no responsibility for each other. Society is what makes all the facilities we use available. The taxes of parents with small children went into providing the facilities for your flight. The children, unless they are babies not occupying a seat, contribute to the cost of flying the plane. A parent with a restless infant can reasonably expect that people who identify as adults will control their impatience with some disturbance. It's not forever, at the most it's a few hours. If that's too hard, ear plugs or sound deadening earphones are available for a few dollars. Perhaps cabin crew should have them for sale.

To be honest, your experience sounds much the same as the flights I've had with EgyptAir. We flew to Egypt with them some time ago and we had broken seats, grotty lavatories, random delays, cabin crew that refused to allow us to open our window blinds for the entire Luxor - London flight for some reason, bad food, rude passengers and screaming babies, and the entire 747 had no pens for UK immigration forms to be completed so the one my Mum had got shared around the entire plane and we didn't see it for over 2 hours. We had a couple of internal flights with them and to be honest those were actually fine, but their long distance services are awful - both legs we had were as bad as each other. I'll definitely be avoiding them - even Air Koryo rated better from my experience when I flew with them - and the fact they haven't improved from when I used them to when this video was taken is shocking.

When I was travelling alone with my two year old and six year old daughters from Canada to England and back, I got so many compliments from people around us, about how well behaved my children were. I guess they were expecting noisy kids. I never had to be strict with them. We just had a lovely relationship. That is the key to parenting. Babies, on the other hand, are a different thing. It must be very hard on them to fly.

[@B-26354]

How nice and wholesome. Personally my mothers efforts of threatening to beat me and my sister half to death if we ever embarrassed her in public kept us both inline, both me and my sister remember this fondly as adults now 😂😂😬.

Oh my freaking lord. I wouldn’t have made it beyond the chaotic boarding of the first flight, let alone boarding one that had caught on fire previously and an almost 2 hr delay. You’re a brave soul. The mix of the jerk next to you who thought he was more important, and the inconsiderations of other passengers not addressed by crew..which one is worse? I can’t make it a 2 hr flight without a drink. Kudos to you, I feel the need for at least 4 shots watching this.

Traveling with a baby is so exhausting. I remember we flew from Montreal to Paris when my son was only 4 months. He kept crying and no one on board could sleep, until one aboriginal women saved us and managed to calm him down.

How is it that some people have NO IDEA that the pressure changes in the cabin affect the baby's ears. It is EXTREMELY painful. One simple remedy is a dummy (=pacifier...for Americans)...or maybe feed the child. The sucking helps equalise the pressure in the eustachian canal....which runs from middle ear to the throat. Cabin crew should understand this basic issue.

[@juliebriz1703]

I remember our flight via Singapore Airlines to Australia - my husband, self and four young boys. The Airline staff kept complimenting us towards the end of our flight, plus two other random passengers - which was lovely but we didn't really know why they kept telling us this ... After watching this video...we certainly know why now lol!!

It is a damn shame seeing this. As an Egyptian, I’ve had to use their services a lot of visit home. And on pretty much all of the flights I’ve been on the staff we’re wonderful and clearly passionate about their jobs, but it’s just a classic example of an airline with potential ruined by poor management.

I remember as a little girl growing up in Russia, one look from my mom while out ANYWHERE and i knew what it meant. I remember this as early as 2-3years old. My mom always told me i was the most well behaved quiet child, and all i can think about was that deadly stare which meant death. Train your children to fear that look, thats it. I still wouldnt dare to challenge my mother when i get that look, and im turning 40 this year.

[@goforgold7082]

I sat next to a sick woman on a KLM flight for 10 hours in July 2019, she was coughing her lungs out most of the time. The stewardess told me I could go sit in the Pilot's seat and before I could tell her that I wont know how to fly the plane I realised that she meant the extra seat where he goes to take a rest. I decided to endure the torture and was so worried that I would pick up the germs and ruin my vacation but I was lucky that it did not happen

Nice videos Noel thanks. Looks like a pretty average experience overall. But the 90 minutes delay without a single announcement is just lazy and reflects pretty badly on the airline. It only takes a minute to explain why your sitting at the gate for so long.

[@TheGLORY13]

Hell you can lie and that'll be good enough. Truth be told majority of delays, are crew related (waiting on someone with hours to make the flight or someone on the ground called off and someone is having to finish up elsewhere before checking on your plane) OR my favorite, any issue even a minor 1 like (for example one of my last flights) 2 screws missing in a non crucial panel and they were attempting (The Techs) to get ahold of engineering to see if it could be speed taped and deferred until the next stop or whatever they could have done and that took an hour) Usually if it's a "major" issue they'll cancel it pretty quickly and just try to rebook people if possible, does them no good to sit there delaying and delaying on a major issue HOPING it magically fixes it self quickly.

[@jw0stephens]

I suspect you should put a couple of sets of earplugs in your travel kit. Very small, you smash them up and they expand in your ears no noise. sometimes on takeoff kids will scream as they don't know about clearing their throats or coughing when their ears hurt from the air pressure. But I've never seen that be the reason for screaming the entire time. That's a kid that needs to be told to shut up or dangle him out the window. (not a real parenting call, just snark).

[@paulhoughton5266]

Anything to do with Egypt is chaotic have worked in Cairo several times. The locals usually have four people do the job of one person, and none if them can do it efficiently. the place us crazy and frustrating but it is never boring and you will experience a different way of live, I loved it there

[@ElizabethWarrenYeahYeah]

I flew to UAE and back with my then 1 year old disabled child. We had a bulkhead seat for him on the return leg for a cot for him to sleep in. He didn't give out a single peep on either journey. He looked out of the window and giggled a lot of the time, he smiled at the crew as they passed by him and said hello to him. He happily accepted juice when they offered it to him. The only thing he didn't like was the hot cloth face and hands wash in the morning before we crab landed at a very windy Heathrow in the morning.

[@jmicklash961]

Complaints about a baby in business coming from a frequent flier who: 1) doesn't bring headphones or use the complimentary earplugs on a flight and 2) wears only socks to the lavatory. That is rich!!

Last Christmas there was a woman who took her baby into bizz on a short flight from Düsseldorf to Budapest. I really think it should be prohibited to bring small children on a flight anyhow. Business or economy. It was horrible, she wouldn’t comply to the safety measures and we had to wait for our departure due to that. Singapore airlines has flight where bo small kids are allowed at all in all classes. This is a very good example for all airlines.

you are correct in a way. most arabian airlines all seem to have very wealthy people that do not mind small kids in business class. that is their right too, but one would hope that they know how to behave and respond. it is , however, not the case. they jump on seats rattling seats behind and you cannot concentrate. they seem to be afraid of telling kids to behave , no, they ask them: would you sit still? or please be quiet ? in such a begging , you are stronger than mum- voice. terrible. I always ask the manager to tey and take care of it, and they do. if you ask. they speak with parents and tell them people find it annoying. tell kid to remain seated as the corridors are not the play ground. surly you get where i am going.

Noise cancelling headphones are a wonderful invention

[@jetfowl]

I remember my first trans-Pacific flight from Seoul to Atlanta. I was on an Asiana Boeing 777. That flight was dreadful, even with having an exit row aisle seat. For they had upholstered the seats in a slick, waterproof material that had you sliding out of your seat unless you constantly pushed yourself back with your legs. And on top of that, the flight was packed with infants. Infants, of course, poop. So the flight constantly smelled of baby poo. And the bathroom garbage bins were overflowing with diapers. It got to the point that the mothers were trying to flush the diapers down the plane toilets, which naturally clogged them. So it was a flight filled with screaming babies, the stench of baby poop, and backed-up lavatories smelling of even more baby poop. And you couldn't sleep (screaming babies and all), but even if you tried... you'd slide right out of your seat. --- To this day, I still won't fly on an Asiana flight... and it's been around 20 years now.
