Passenger Plans To Sleep On Early Morning Flight, But There’s A Problem

A video shared by a TikTok user showing disappointment as he learns some of his fellow flyers are quite loud passengers has gone viral.
The video was shared by Quinten Aje with the text overlay “POV: you got the early morning flight from London to Ibiza and come to realise you won’t get those 2hrs sleep you were counting on.”
The video contains audio of passengers shouting each other’s names and one of them asking for a speaker, with dance music heard playing later on in the clip. It has been viewed over 249,000 times since it was posted on August 22.

Aje told Newsweek that he was on an 8 a.m. Jet2 flight from London Stanstead Airport to Ibiza on August 9 when the video was recorded. Newsweek has contacted Jet2 via email for comment.
Flying early in the morning can sometimes be a more desirable option for a number of reasons. Not only can flights be cheaper much earlier in the day, but according to some experts, they are much less likely to be delayed.
In a March interview with HuffPost, Phil Dengler, co-founder of The Vacationer, explained that early morning flights “are much less likely to get delayed or canceled than those taking place later in the day”.

“Even if your morning flight is canceled, your odds of experiencing a lengthy delay are minimal,” he added. “In the event of a cancellation, there is still time to get you on a new flight that morning or sometime in the early afternoon.”
“Another entry for the travel diaries: flight was eventually delayed +1hr because ppl were removed from the plane lol,” Aje wrote in the caption of the post with a crying face emoji. “That London – Ibiza flight is not for the weak.”

In the video, dance music can be heard playing as one person is heard asking “How many playlists do you have?”
TikTok users took to the comments to share their thoughts on the video.
“”Anyone get a speaker” would send me into orbit,” AJ said, while @nakkitadesilva commented: “I’d rather make the journey on foot.”
Tapi&Me said: “I’d be begging the flight crew to let me go down where the bags are I cannot handle this.”
Meanwhile, Saint Chantal added: “When she said speaker I would have legitimately called the police.”
When someone suggested that Aje use noise-canceling headphones, he replied: “Trust me they weren’t canceling.”
