A man has taken to TikTok to recount his 'awful' experience on a '29 hour' flight next to a screaming child.
Henry Beasley was travelling to Berlin with a nearby crying child onboard ferociously screamed their lungs out throughout the entire journey, the Mirror reports. The musician, who makes up one half of New Zealand music duo Balu Brigada, shared footage of himself on Tiktok suffering through the youngster's screams on the plane as he mockingly began to rate each one based on their pitch and length.
He shared the amusing clip on his account, @balubrigada which shows his eyes comically twitching in irritation throughout the consistent screeching as he jokingly reviews each wail in the caption, leaving humorous comments like ''the kids got some lungs''. As each screech erupts, another caption appears on the screen, with one praising the "great projection" and another joking "kettle's boiled!".
Despite having large over-ear headphones to hand, Henry keeps them round his neck for the majority of the flight, as he rounds off his line of reviews with the conclusion: "Stellar performance, incredible stamina. 10/10". The TikToker has yet to confirm where he was travelling from for such a long flight, but flights from New Zealand to Berlin take approximately 31 hours, with two layovers.
The dramatic video has sparked heated debate on flying etiquette as many people are horrified by the man's ordeal, while others shared their sympathy for the child's parents. One person wrote "Honestly there should be kid free flights and kid flights", a comment which amassed a whopping 206,000 likes on the app.
Another said "The rage I get just by whatching [sic] this" before another joked "I rate this flight with a 0/10". Many people criticised the parents for choosing to fly on such a long journey with their children, but others felt sorry for them, with one writing "That poor mother".
Another TikTok user wrote: "I know some people don’t have the option, but I never took my babies or toddlers on flights. Ever. It’s painful for everyone".
