Maybe it’s the camera, but it looks bright. Like if the plane goes down we are using that to signal for a rescue. If it was a night flight and the lights were dimmed I can see where that would be irritating.
(Of course I can sleep about anywhere, so I’m not sure I’d care that much.)
Whenever stuck in a confined space with an irritating child, I try to remain positive; for me, the suffering will soon be over. It is the parents that I feel sorry for.
OMG that’s SUPER annoying!
Maybe strap the child to the wing for night flying.
I was kinda hoping it was going to have Hamster dance, but I’d agree the lights are too bright. I wouldn’t let one of mine have that on a flight.
All of them were jealous of this kid hat.
You know those warnings on TV news reports "warning - there are flashing lights in the next report’ which are for the benefit of people who may be triggered by them (e.g. those susceptible to epileptic fits)…
Well, that child’s parents should have issued such a warning to all other passengers. I cannot imagine any flight attendants allowing that to go on for any length of time at all (assuming they are properly trained and doing their job properly).
I always carry a toy drum to hand out to parents of toddlers on long flights. It’s the little things that leave lasting impressions on people!
I have gone to sleep at a rave. I wouldn’t recommend it, but it is possible.
Don’t forget the pop rocks and Jolt cola!
The “adult” parent should be caned in front of the other passengers, and the child should be told “this is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps”.
Sometimes parents have to take children on flights. They don’t have to do a disco show.
On the one hand waking up after a tray of passenger slurry and being faced with a glowing angel might be disconcerting.
On the other the hat is cool.

The jokes on you if you think my kids need some kind of toy to make all kinds of obnoxious and irritating noises.
My mate Stu used to regularly nap at raves, then wake up at the end all irritable and demanding more drugs and an after-party.
