    Font - Wicked AngelLove. 13 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [43] ΝΤΑ The flight attendant and the pilot agreed with you and made announcements to verify that what they did was gross. People eat on those trays and while I know they are supposed to clean them between flights, let's be honest, sometimes they might missed. 220 Reply Share

    Font - Lord Mashiro 13 hr. ago . ΝΤΑ Just the fact that she was using the tray intended for passengers to place their food on is revolting. I can't begin to imagine the smell. Yes, flights are stressful for parents and their children, but that's no excuse to be inconsiderate and downright gross, especially when there are literally changing tables available in the bathrooms. 126 Reply Share

    Font - squirrelsareevil2479. 13 hr. ago Colo-rectal Surgeon [30] NTA. It would be interesting to ask the mother why it's less stressful to change the baby on the food tray than in the washroom with a changing table. Is her stress reduced by sickening other passengers? I'd love to hear her explanation.

    Font - AITA for asking a couple to stop changing their baby's diaper in the middle of a plane? I (28F) was on a flight for several hours today, seated behind a couple with a baby. I'm a really nauseous flyer, so I took a Dramamine ahead of time and did my best to get some sleep during the flight. This didn't happen because of the baby's crying, but oh well, I know flights are scary and stressful for infants and there was nothing anyone could do about that.

    Font - What got to me was the couple changing their baby's extremely stinky #2 diaper right in the middle of their seats, using the mom's food tray as a changing table. We were at the back of the plane right by the bathrooms, which I confirmed had baby changing tables when I had to go back there to throw up after the smell hit me. I didn't say anything the first time, but the second time I heard them go into the diaper bag a couple hours later I asked if they could please go use the plane bathro

    Font - The mom went off on me and said I had no idea how stressful it is to travel with an infant, which is true -I don't have kids. The flight attendant at the back of the plane agreed with me and asked them to only use the bathrooms to change their baby, plus a few minutes later the pilot made an announcement that all diaper changing needed to be done in the bathrooms, after which both parents looked extremely annoyed.

    Font - sbinjax 13 hr. ago Certified Proctologist [26] NTA. There are changing tables in the bathrooms. That's what they are for. Also, thank God the maintenance crews disinfect between flights. The thought of eating/drinking off a tray table used as a changing table makes me want to hurl. 5.3k Reply Share

    Font - loopyloo54321 - 13 hr. ago NTA basic rules of baby changing, don't do it where people eat or where people are in close proximity. If you have a choice always use the changing tables. 1.5k Reply Share
