Article Child’s Flashing Hat Keeps Entire Plane Awake

By

38 Comment

We all know kids can be difficult on a flight, and sometimes it’s hard to keep them content – but would you allow your child to disrupt an entire plane just to keep them happy?

Imagine being on a flight, and it’s time to catch some shut-eye. The lights are dimmed and everyone lowers their conversations as they get ready to sleep. And then this little girl decides it’s the perfect time to put on her hat, and turn on its flashing lights.

In a viral video posted by Male Castellon, which has been viewed seven million times, passengers can be seen in the dimly lit plane, before the camera pans to a girl sitting on a male’s lap. She’s all smiles as her flashing hat illuminates the entire cabin.

Watch on TikTok


The video has been flooded with comments from people furious at her parents for allowing her to disrupt the entire plane.

One person said, “Imagine trying to sleep and all of a sudden the plane turns into a rave.”

While another commented: “I would go insane.”

Others commented how inconsiderate it was, saying they’re careful not to disrupt sleeping passengers: “And I was mortified when I accidentally turned my overhead light on last week on a 6am flight.”

Others commented that it would trigger their anxiety or migraines, and could even trigger a fit or seizure.

While a flight attended commented:

“As a flight attendant, I’d say put that away. There are people trying to rest, read, watch a movie etc. Also, there are people with disabilities, and this can be incredibly annoying and irritating for them.

“Leave stuff like this for home or amusement parks. Not in a tiny tin can at 30,000ft in the air. Some folks have sensitive eyes please consider others around you.”

The person who posted the video on TikTok hasn’t given any further details on what happened during the flight.

  • As flight attendant I’m not ok with this. We put safety first and this kind of behaviour is not safe. As someone has said it can cause seizures and it’s not fun dealing with medicals 30000ft in the air. It Is disrespectful to other guests on board and so distracting. I personally would speak to the guests and ask them to turn it off.

  • Parents shouldn’t have brought the flashing hat onto the plane in the first place

  • That’s definitely not okay. I would never allow my kids to do this.

  • I try to be patient about kids when travelling, but in this case I’d definitely be calling a flight attendant and asking them to get it turned off.

  • Omg if this is real and did actually happen this would cause a migraine and would eventually annoy me too. It’s so bright and a bit too much on your eye.

    • Yes this could cause a migraine or for some an epileptic seizure for sure !

  • This has got to be a joke… what parent and/or flight attendant would be ok with this. No one would be able to disrupt so many passengers without being spoken to…

    • There is an expected code of behaviour on a plane and that would not be allowed.
      I always speak up when people do not follow rules on a plane.
      It is so important for everyone to be comfortable and cared for on a place.
      Entitled behaviour is not allowed in a confined space.

  • I would buzz an attendant and that hat would be gone until touch down!

  • Being a very light sleeper and struggling to even fall asleep on the plane, this certainly wouldn’t make me happy (and yes, I use eye mask, ear plugs and extra melatonin during flights)

  • That would be annoying especially if you weren’t feeling well and were super tired!
    Some parents are just inconsiderate…

  • That would be incredibly frustrating but I’m sure with a little chat they’d understand and turn it off.

  • Always carry an eye mask and ear plugs…

  • No thought for anyone else.

  • The parent should have intervened with their own child. Its respect for everyone
