I swear there should be like, a “must be this many years old” to get on a plane. If I have to endure one more 5hrs flight filled with screams, imma start matching their decibel level...

I would prefer an airline with no fat people. I hate being half sat on. Can you imagine a business model of “no fatties?” No. Me neither.
So, both of us will have to realize other people with other priorities exist and have rights equal to our own. And both of us have first class as an option if we really mean what we say.

Honestly this is such a good business idea. I would 100% pay an extra cost for my flight if it was guaranteed no screaming children.

And I love kids! I’m not a hater. But if I’m trying to get work done on the way to a client meeting or am exhausted after a week of demanding meetings, a screaming baby is torturous. I know it’s life. But the luxury option for a higher cost would 100% be something I’d buy. I travel enough that it’d seriously improve my quality of life hah.

I’m all for a business travel option for consumers. There’s definitely a market for it. But until that option exists please try to be empathetic of those traveling with kids. I guarantee you that the vast majority of the time the parents are working really hard to keep their kids quiet and are much more miserable and exhausted than you

Seriously, why not just put a 'family section' in the back of the plane. Load them first, exit them last and keep them all together. Maybe some coloring books and shit even. How is this not done yet, it seems obvious and easy.

And honestly it’s 🤯 how much you missed the point. It’s not about “fuck kids.” It’s about how airplanes are an extension of the office for a huge population of the workforce. I spend at least 10 hours per week on airplanes. Do you have to deal with screaming children at your job? No.

I know a plane is not an office. That’s why I’m proposing paying extra for one that emulates that environment (babies are allowed in first class btw...). Someone do this and cut me in on your profits 💁‍♀️
