Jetstar Passenger Defends Choice to Fly with Baby After ‘Disgraceful’ Critiques A Jetstar passenger has sparked a debate after sharing her “disgraceful” experience on a recent flight with her baby. In a viral TikTok video, the mother described how fellow passengers had expressed their disapproval and made rude comments about her child. However, the passenger, identified as Tahlia, has since hit back at her critics, claiming they “missed the point.” In a follow-up video, she explained that her baby was not being disruptive and had behaved well throughout the flight. “They were missing the point,” Tahlia said. “I am not apologizing for flying with my child.” She went on to explain that she had paid for an extra seat for her baby and had taken all necessary precautions to ensure the comfort of other passengers. “We had a stroller, a car seat, a change of clothes, everything we needed,” Tahlia said. “My baby was not crying or being disruptive.” Tahlia’s video has resonated with many parents who have faced similar experiences when traveling with young children. They have praised her for standing up for her right to fly with her baby and for challenging the stigma associated with it. “As a parent, I can empathize with Tahlia’s experience,” said one commenter. “It’s not easy traveling with a baby, and it’s frustrating when people make you feel ashamed for doing so.” However, some have also criticized Tahlia’s decision to bring her baby on a long-haul flight. They argue that it is unfair to other passengers who may be disturbed by a crying or fussy child. “I understand that Tahlia is a mother, but I also have to consider the comfort of other passengers,” said another commenter. “If her baby was as well-behaved as she says, then why did anyone complain in the first place?” The Jetstar passenger’s experience highlights the ongoing debate about the etiquette of flying with babies. While some believe that parents have the right to bring their children on flights, others feel that it is a disruption to other travelers. Ultimately, it is up to individual airlines to set their own policies regarding children on flights. Jetstar, for example, allows babies to fly as young as one day old and provides bassinets for infants under two years of age.A mother recently faced criticism online for expressing her disappointment with Jetstar staff’s alleged lack of assistance during her solo flight with her infant. Despite being labeled “entitled” by some, she defended her stance, stating that it’s reasonable to expect basic human decency, such as help with maneuvering luggage and a baby across a wet tarmac.A mother recently faced criticism online for expressing her disappointment with Jetstar staff’s alleged lack of assistance during her solo flight with her infant. Despite being labeled “entitled” by some, she defended her stance, stating that it’s reasonable to expect basic human decency, such as help with maneuvering luggage and a baby across a wet tarmac. According to the mother, she was not provided with the assistance she requested from a Jetstar employee and was sarcastically told that help would only be provided if someone volunteered. She also claimed that she was met with an eye roll from an airline worker when she asked for help with an infant seatbelt. In response to the mother’s claims, Jetstar confirmed that it had reached out to her to understand the situation. The airline expressed its commitment to making all parents feel welcome and comfortable during flights and apologized for the mother’s negative experience.A Jetstar passenger has shut down critics after sharing a “disgraceful” experience with her baby on a recent flight. The woman, identified only as Jess, took to social media to express her frustration after other passengers complained about her baby crying during the flight. “I’m so over people complaining about babies crying on planes,” Jess wrote. “My baby is only 10 weeks old and he was crying because he was tired and hungry. I did everything I could to calm him down, but he just wouldn’t stop.” Jess said that she was approached by several passengers who complained about the noise. “One woman even told me that I should take my baby to the bathroom to feed him,” Jess said. “I was so embarrassed and upset.” Jess’s post sparked a debate on social media, with many people expressing support for her. “I’m so sorry that you had to go through that,” one person wrote. “It’s not your fault that your baby was crying. People need to be more understanding.” “I can’t believe that people would complain about a baby crying,” another person wrote. “It’s a natural thing. If they don’t like it, they can wear headphones.” However, some people also criticized Jess for not doing enough to calm her baby down. “I understand that your baby was crying, but you should have tried harder to calm him down,” one person wrote. “You could have taken him for a walk or played with him.” “I think it’s inconsiderate to bring a baby on a plane if you know that they’re going to cry,” another person wrote. “You should have booked a private flight instead.” Jess responded to the criticism by saying that she did everything she could to calm her baby down. “I tried walking him, playing with him, and singing to him,” Jess said. “But he was just really tired and hungry. There was nothing I could do.” Jess also said that she thinks people are missing the point. “The point is that it’s not acceptable to complain about a baby crying on a plane,” Jess said. “Babies cry. It’s a fact of life. People need to be more understanding and compassionate.”
