      fucking hell, I’d think about leaving because having to survive the rabid child always behind me, that guy over there coughing the entire flight, that lady next to me who immediately started snoring, and the bi hourly “buy our perfume” plane wide adnnouncements would be hell without headphones

      Name and shame the airline.

      I fly a lot for work, internationally most of the time. Haven’t seen this in many years.

        Air Canada - pre-covid though so that might be your many years

        I flew many times with different airlines before that without this issue
