People demand child-free flights after kid ‘keeps everyone awake’.
People are calling for child-free flights after footage has emerged showing a child on a night flight wearing a light-up costume – disturbing all other passengers in the cabin.
The viral video shows the youngster, who appears to be no older than seven or eight years old, kitted out in a glow-in-the-dark strobe outfit.
The six-second clip shows passengers sitting in a dimly lit packed flight with the lights turned off so that they can rest.
The camera then pans to the child who is standing on her seat, as her outfit flashes bright multi-coloured lights.
All the while the child’s father simply watches on appearing to find the headache-inducing outfit funny.
The video is captioned “Imagine being on this flight” and “I’d be ill”.
Instagram users from around the world did not hold back in their criticism of the behaviour in the video, which garnered a staggering 8.4million views and more than 6,500 comments.
One user wrote: “Sick of ppl who don’t control their children in public space.”
Another joked: “Where’s a Karen when you need one?”
“What’s worse than kids? Parents,” a third posted.
Many commentators were concerned for any passengers with medical conditions like epilepsy, who might have suffered a seizure.
“That is going to give EVERYONE on the plane a seizure. Strobin lights in a tight space?? what the hell?” one Instagram user wrote.
