    What he *actually* said was that there should be *one* flight offered without babies.

    Planes are public transportation, and babies are members of the public. This debate is so tired, babies are gonna be on planes whether you like it or not.

    He’s saying they should offer a service without babies. That’s fine. He’s not saying babies shouldn’t exist. Calm down.

  4. As someone who has flown with a 1 year old mulitple times I support it. Then if someone is bothered enough to actually say something about a baby (which has never happened to me), you can just say “should have paid for the baby free flight”

    Having suffered through a cross-country red-eye flight with a wailing baby, I can’t say I hate the idea

  6. As someone who’s gone on multiple, necessary, international flights with my own babies: let there be one flight if it’ll stop people from complaining. Hell, make it two. Someone should found an airline that prohibits babies. But no one will cause who’s that much of a misanthrope??

    But I’d still buy a ticket haha

    The hurt feelings are so funny to me. Some people really don’t do well with noise, this would be a perfect solution.

    i’ll never get (that) angry at a child for kicking seats and misbehaving but I WILL get angry at a parent who refuses to get them in line. don’t make a stranger yell at your child, what are we doing here lol

    I watched all of Big Mistakes while recovering from wisdom tooth surgery and it was fantastic!! Couldn’t recommend more!! Dan Levy is hilarious and I hope he does a zillion more projects (if he wants to)

    Airlines will charge extra to be the parent with baby on the flight and extra to be on the no baby flight

    His smile at the very very end is just a split second flash of his dad.

    As a parent, and a fan, I say yes. Offer one flight a day with no babies. Adults have sensory issues too and I don’t think having one option is a big deal.

  13. i would one million percent choose a “kid friendly” flight if they offered them. it would hopefully be filled with people that can tolerate it fine and you also wouldn’t experience as much judgement.

  14. i agree! he’s just saying one flight offered (likely extra charge) for adults/decently old kids (5+) would be great. he’s not saying ban babies from public spaces

  15. Babies aren’t even that bad. I’ve noticed some cultures will NOT tell their 5-9 year old age range children to settle down, stop kicking the seats, use headphones, or clean up after themselves.

    I’m sure people who make their children their entire identity will be totally normal about this.

    The way she flops that microphone around for him to chase with his face is so irritating to me lmao

  18. Last time I took the plane with my then 7 months old, he was quiet for the whole flight. He fell asleep in my arms right before landing.

    We had to get off last to get our stroller. While we were sitting patiently in our seat, a boomer and his wife passed next to us and declared loudly while getting into my sleeping baby’s face: YOU WERE NOT AS BAD AS WE TOUGHT YOU WOULD BE YOU DIDN’T CRY CONGRATS” and then managed to wake up my baby who cried in my arms during the lugage and customs.

    Yes, babies are sometimes a pain during flights, but I hate even more the people that loudly sighs and do those kinds of comments when they see you coming.

    Girl, steady the microphone if you’re interviewing someone. He shouldn’t be trying to follow the mic like that, it was so distracting

    I feel bad for the parents traveling with this infants who will likely cry at some point in the flight. And in my experience, drunk people on flights are usually a bigger problem.

    He’s adorable. Also, I think there should be an area of every event with no babies/kids. Over it. Respectfully.

  22. ContestSignificant44 on

    Parents are so annoying. He didn’t say that babies can’t exists or fly, he said he wishes there was a flight option with no babies… I miss the day when I could go to breweries and pubs without babies screaming and kids running around. I love kids by the way, I just don’t understand this new obsession with parents needing to bring their kids everywhere… Our friends got mad because a new bar opened and it was child free.. Our town has 2 child free places, that is it. You can take them everywhere else, let us have something.

  23. As someone who had to sit next to a parent with their baby on their lap in a crowded, 10 hour flight, BOTH WAYS, I support this.

    And let me be very clear, I feel really bad for parents. With how much airlines keep smushing seats together, it’s just not feasible for 3 people to sit in those seats PLUS a baby.

    As a parent, I literally don’t blame him. Make baby-free flights for people who don’t want to be stuck in a metal tube in the sky with a wailing baby AND make flights specifically for people travelling with babies/small children so we don’t have to deal with the stress of disturbing the rest of the plane on top of the baseline stress of travelling with kids. Win-win as far as I’m concerned

    My husband and I flew with our 7 month old twice in the past month. Fortunately, he’s a really easygoing kid, but it’s a lot of work to keep a child that young calm. Worth it, because people are much kinder and accommodating when it shows that you’re an active parent with a happy child, but a lot of work. Parents should not let their kids run amok on planes.

    As if I needed more proof that he (and all the Levys) is one of the coolest in Hollywood

    I flew one time when my boy was a baby and omg I felt crazy self conscious and paranoid about it. He was the only baby on the flight, and I swore people were cutting their eyes at us as I struggled down the aisle with his car seat and him and all our stuff. I was so relieved he didn’t cry or make a fuss for the whole flight! All that to say, that I think a baby free flight would be a great service—for both childfree folks and anxious first time mom’s with babies! Everybody wins!

    Every time this comes up, I say the same thing: If this were financially feasible, airlines would do it. The fact that they don’t highlights that they do not believe there is enough demand.

  29. helloworlditisme261 on

    Omg yes please! I would pay extra to not be around any crying children on a flight lol
