Passenger annoyed at kids tantrum begs for child free airport

A passenger left horrified at tired kids throwing tantrums after a flight delay has begged for a child free airport.

The traveller said they were 'ready to jump out a window' after being pestered by young children when their plane was delayed for over an hour.

Posting a rant on popular forum Reddit, they captioned the tirade: "What I would do for a child-free airport."

As reported in the Mirror, they wrote: "Stuck at an airport, with over an hour delay, knowing I'm going to be missing transport home and have to get a taxi is bad. But having to hear the multiple kids that are extra tired, definitely makes it 100 times worse.

"Not only do I have to deal with the general noise and slight tantrums, I've had a kid throw a fit because he wanted my seat, and another child yank my strap from behind my seat just because he could. (Will give credit that the mum stopped both children but it still is annoying).

"If this plane doesn't arrive soon I may jump out the window."

Someone gave the furious passenger a tip, writing: "Protip: You can usually get info about the inbound plane somehow. United lets you see this via the app. You can also use something like flightradar24 for this info too.

"I usually find a gate that is completely empty to chill, then about 10-15min before the plane lands per the app or flight radar, I mosey myself over to the gate, straight to the boarding line.

"You can avoid kids for most of your wait and you get the bonus of actually having access to power."

Another said: "The airports know that and they seal the windows so you don't jump out, I thought."

In other plane drama news, recently, a woman was left horrified after a couple and their daughter stole her plane seats, but instant karma hit and she felt rather smug about it.
