Woman left fuming by ‘too many announcements’ during flight – but people are surprisingly divided

A MUM has slammed flights for having too many announcements on them - but people have been surprisingly split by her opinion.

The woman said she was left stunned after both her flights had announcements on them during her holiday.

She wrote : "On the outbound flight we had an announcement and round of applause for someone's birthday.

"On the way home yesterday we had the same for a couple returning from a Las Vegas wedding.

"I understand they're special occasions/trips but does the whole flight really need to know about it and clap?

"I bet half the plane were celebrating something special, can you imagine if everyone asked for a shout out, we'd never have got off the runway."

Some people agreed with the mum.

One had a similar experience: "We’ve just flown twice with my 5 then 6 month old.

"Who would have slept the whole flight but kept being jolted awake by announcement after announcement."

And someone who used to be a flight attendant said: "Personally I think announcements should be safety/allergy/professional reasons only but that's just my own opinion."

However, most people didn't agree with the mum.

One person said: "I has this on a flight the other day for a couple who were on their way to get married. I thought it was quite sweet!"

Another said: "I can't believe anybody would complain about this. Could you not just clap and smile and be happy for the sake of it?"

A third wrote: "Wouldn't bother me tbh, they wouldn't delay the flight to do announcements like this."

A flight attendant recently divided opinion after asking a passenger a very personal question.

And a man sparked debate after he reclined his seat during a long haul flight.
