At what point should flight attendants step in when a child is out of control on a longhaul flight?
According to Ben, the disruption went on for an extended period of time, with repeated outbursts that made it difficult for nearby passengers to rest. But what strikes me most is not the behavior itself, but the delayed response from the cabin crew.
Eventually, flight attendants did step in. Ben notes that they stood near the child’s seat and politely but firmly told her (the young girl) to quiet down. But that intervention only came after hours of disruption, including a particularly frustrating moment when his own son was finally asleep, only to be awakened by another shouting episode.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
