Babies cry on flights: Deal with it

Travel

Babies are babies, and so shall they act like babies.

I usually fly from Vancouver to NYC aboard the second leg of Cathay Pacific’s HKG-JFK megaflight. It’s… very family-oriented. Lots and lots of screaming babies. The moms and dads are like, “Whatever.” That’s the right attitude, in my opinion, provided they’re actually trying to comfort their kids. Which they are. Because nobody likes having a tiny person with no volume control screaming in their ear.

So, yes, I agree with this opinion piece.
