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

Or just suck it up and be and adult instead of complaining about literal babies 24/7. Go back to r/childfree

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

It still takes the edge off... I have two little sirens myself.
