A passenger’s video of his 29-hour flight to Germany, where he struggled with a crying baby, sparked discussions about flying with children.

Henry Beasley, a musician from the duo Balu Brigada, posted the video on TikTok, showing his frustration with the persistent cries but keeping a humorous tone. He jokingly rated the child’s “stellar performance” a “10/10.” The video went viral, gaining over 3.7 million views, with many viewers sharing mixed opinions. Some sympathized with Henry, while others expressed frustration at parents traveling with babies.

The video also reignited debates about child-free flights, with some passengers willing to pay extra for a quieter experience. Airlines like Scoot and Japan Airlines have already introduced child-free zones or seating maps to cater to these requests. Despite differing views, Henry’s lighthearted video captured a shared travel struggle and reminded people to find humor in difficult situations
