Viewers are split after seeing a video of a passenger recording his experience on a mega long-haul flight with a screaming baby.

It goes exactly how you’d think…

Hearing a baby wailing and screeching is the last way you’d want to spend a flight, while you’re on your travels to an exciting destination. But sadly, this TikToker was stuck in an enclosed metal tube with the crying baby for a jaw-dropping 29 hours.

He was on a trip from New Zealand to Berlin, Germany, and he wasn’t particularly thrilled when he heard of the youthful passenger for the first time.

Or the second. Or the third. Take a look below:

In the viral video, which was originally posted in 2022, the Kiwi content creator showed you exactly why you made a mistake wearing headphones.

Henry Beasley is a musician part of a band called Balu Brigada, and posted the 26-second clip on their joint social media account.

Documenting his experience on the long-haul flight, he quickly realised that the trip wouldn’t be an enjoyable one.

Sat a few rows back was an unsettled child, who wasn’t afraid of letting everyone know that they were not having a good time.

It would be impossible for anyone to get some shut-eye on the flight, as the baby was probably trying to audition for his band, showing off their impressive vocal range.

Henry wrote below the video: “Rate my 29 hour flight to Berlin. The kid’s got some lungs. Great projection.”

In the video, the musician’s eye can be seen twitching non-stop throughout his long-haul journey, with the artist poking fun at the situation by recording a ‘nice long’ scream, just for us.

Concluding the video while looking exhausted with his eyes barely open, he said: “Stellar performance, incredible stamina. 10/10.”

Viewers then took to the comments to share what they thought of the vocal passenger, as one user said: “And people have the audacity to ask me why I don’t want kids.”

A second pointed out: “And people have the audacity to ask me why I don’t want kids.”

While a third user wrote: “They shouldn’t let kids on flights longer then four hours.”

Another shared: “The way my anger issues would get me kicked out of a flying plane…”

But there were some viewers that stuck up for the youngling, with one writing: “Put your headphones on and be grateful that it isn’t you.”

A different user agreed, saying: “It’s called noise canceling headphones. Get some.”

Should kids be allowed on flights? I guess it depends on who you ask.
