Should There Be A Separate Class For Babies In Airplanes?

Arielle Noa Charmas recently sparked a serious debate when she shared her experience when she traveled with her baby. According to Charmas, a Delta Airlines flight attendant told her to the leave First Class cabin of the plane and move to the Economy class as her little baby started crying. The internet has been flooding with various opinions after the social media celebrity shared the incident.

The news broke out when the fashion blogger posted about the incident on her Instagram account, telling her 1 million followers and fans of how she was treated by the Delta Airlines, as per Huffington Post. The New Yorker informed that her baby was quite sleepy and crying.

Charmas also shared the reason why she and her husband bought First Class plane tickets and that was to give them enough room to manage everything for the baby girl. However, a flight attendant came to the couple, requesting her to take her baby to the Economy class. It was revealed that many passengers were complaining about the crying baby and the fuss she was creating.

In her very detailed post on the photo-sharing application, Charmas expressed her distraught emotions. She stated that it was her first time flying with her baby and she was already anxious. According to her, people in the First Class were giving her stares as soon as she entered with her crying child.

Charmas then told her followers that one can't just tell their crying baby to stop. She also mentioned how she could not help but cry and feel more anxious after the stewardess asked her to change seats.

Various reactions have surfaced due to the said incident, as informed by Us Weekly. Some openly supported the fashion blogger, saying that she had paid for the flight and hence should be allowed to use the space as she desired.

Others, on the other hand, argued that everyone in the First Class had paid a hefty sum as she did and they deserved a peaceful flight. People also commented on the airlines having better policies regarding such sensitive issues, such as a "kid's class."

Responding to that, the well-known entrepreneur and founder of the Virgin Group, Richard Branson said that they would love to have a separate Children's class, with nannies and all other required child care necessities. However, Branson revealed they are still having some discussions with the Civil Aviation Authority. The authority believed that if a separate children class is formed, there will be a lot of mismanagement in cases of an emergency.
