"Passengers Recall 'Flight From Hell' After 3-Year-Old Screamed for 8 Hours Straight" ... What are your thoughts?

It was a transatlantic headache for passengers aboard a flight from Germany to the U.S. when a child would not stop screaming for eight hours.

The passengers described it as the flight from hell which featured nonstop screaming and fussing from a 3-year-old on board.

The mother of the child was overheard telling flight attendants that her son has “behavioral problems,” according to passengers.

First, I carry noise cancelled headphones 🎧 on any flight. Worth every dime.

Second, I had kids, we planned. They were GREAT on any flight. One passenger turned back as we were deplaning and exclaimed “There was a baby? I never heard a peep!”

Third, alcohol is a wonderful palliative... mostly for the adults and parents.

@wistful you could be the best parent around and still that child will scream. Good on you that your kids behaved ...they obviously had no issues with being on a plane.

@JaggedLittlePill I could be a total jerk too. But I am not.

I also took my sick, screaming child into the bathroom and calmed them down before returning to my seat, and severely chided my child for kicking the seat 💺 in front of them.

I know what it is like on both sides of the parenting aisle. Yes, kids scream... but after about 10 min- I will blame the parents, not the kid.

My daughter is 10 now, and she loves to travel.
