To hate the people singing on this flight

Just that really. They’re pissed and loud and conducting a song-song.
I’ve asked them nicely to keep it down. It made them louder.
FFS!!!!!

I thought Wi-Fi on planes was pretty commonplace now. How long do you have left on the plane?

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 10/03/2018 22:32

I've only been on one flight with WiFi.
Certainly British Airways to Orlando doesn't have it

sonjadog · 10/03/2018 22:33

I often post on MN on flights. Turn on flight mode and then connect to WiFi. It works, honest.

Oh, the OP needs WiFi, not the singers!

I thought you were all saying that sing songs required WiFi!

Oops.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 10/03/2018 22:39

Do they normally tell you that there is WiFi on board?
Have I been missing something for years?

SimonBridges · 10/03/2018 22:42

What has WiFi got to do with it?

What’s love got to do with it?

Seriously though. How else could the op be posting without WiFi?

thanksjaneshusbandatcaresouth · 10/03/2018 22:43

Yeah, I was a bit slow....

LolitaLempicka · 10/03/2018 22:43

Not all BA flights have it yet.

Bodear · 10/03/2018 22:43

Love mumsnet and the directions threads take. Thanks all for making me smile 😊
Noise cancelling headphones are on the shopping list anyway.

And yes, really pissed. One of them said “I’ve never been this pissed on a flight before” Hmm

Ooohhhh, MyDc.

WiFi isn’t on all flights. I fly Norwegian most of the time and these days most of their flights have it. It doesn’t always work very well though.

BeastInView · 10/03/2018 22:48

They'll probably..................CHEER AND APPLAUD......when you land.

Sympathies.

Thistlebelle · 10/03/2018 22:49

YANBU we were once in a flight with a teenage choir. They sang without pause, clearly working through their repertoire.

They clearly expected a round of applause when they stopped, seemingly not realising that every single other person on the delayed Friday night flight was seething.

When they finished they all popped their heads up over the seats like confused meerkats because the silence was deafening.

The airline staff apologised to everyone as they left.

CremeFresh · 10/03/2018 22:53

I'm surprised they were allowed on the flight if they're that pissed.

Gwenhwyfar · 10/03/2018 22:55

I would have liked to be on this plane:

abigailsnan · 10/03/2018 22:55

Hopefully you only have them for a couple of hours ?? Pray to God they are not staying at the same Hotel as you.!!
Is it a stag week-end group ?

Mandeln · 10/03/2018 22:56

The cabin crew really ought to deal with it and tell them to stop. I'd speak to a crew member about it. If they won't do anything then I'd complain to the airline after the flight. No one wants to sit on a plane and listen to singing FFS!

easypeasylife · 10/03/2018 22:58

One of my earliest holiday memories was the sing song that broke out on our flight to Spain when I was a child. "We're off to sunny, sunny Spain..." It seemed very civilized and a leader my aunt was doing actions. Those were the days...

FlashTheSloth · 10/03/2018 22:58

Surely the cabin crew should be telling them to STFU?! I was on a flight recently and this would have done my nut in!!!

WiFi is for short haul flights I think, not long haul. Norwegian have it for their short haul but not long haul, I assumed other airlines were the same but may be wrong.

Tequilamockinbird · 10/03/2018 23:00

Delta long haul have Wi-fi as I was MNing on a flight to JFK not so long ago.

It was pricey though!

Thistlebelle · 10/03/2018 23:01

easy everyone not singing was hating you with a firey passion.

austenozzy · 10/03/2018 23:07

Our Iceland air 757 had wifi a couple of weeks back. Slow, though.

Grin was on a flight with a friend once and a load of weird people started singing. (What the hell is it about planes? Would they do it on a bus?) and friend said “I bet they’re the kind of twats that clap when we land”. They were. friend might have been a bit too loud with her eye rolling Grin

GabsAlot · 10/03/2018 23:34

why is everyone on about wifi course alot of planes have it now some of them even charge

tell the cabin crew op
