Will you welcome these songbirds on your flight? Travellers put 'over the edge' over one song number
- Replies 16
Air travel can be a test of patience at the best of times.
From cramped seats, questionable food choices and the risk of delays, travellers still brave these inconveniences to explore the world.
What happens when a simple act on a flight sparks a social media storm and divides the internet?
That's precisely what happened recently, and it's got everyone talking about the dos and don'ts of plane etiquette.
You're on a flight that's already been delayed by two hours.
You're tired, restless, and want to get to your destination.
Instead of the usual in-flight announcements, the aircraft's intercom crackles to life with something unexpected.
You hear a young tween belting out 'How Far I'll Go' from Disney's Moana.
For some, it was a sweet distraction. Yet, for others, it was a nightmare.
Online content creator Romeu captured the moment and eventually shared the clip online.
The video racked up more than 3.6 million views, with viewers split right down the middle.
One unimpressed viewer summed up the sentiment of many.
'This would send me over the edge,' the comment read.
'This is actually my worst nightmare and personal hell,' another wrote.
'Absolutely zero hate to this girl but major side-eye to her parents,' a third shared.
'Even if it were a professional singer, I do not want to be subjected to a concert without consent.'
However, not everyone was bothered by the girl's singing.
Some passengers and online viewers thought the performance was adorable, especially given the flight's destination.
'She's actually really good!' one fan enthusiastically commented.
'I think it's cute, considering it's a flight to Orlando. Probably full of kids anxious to get to Disney.'
'I would've sung with her. I love Moana,' another supporter chimed in.

This was not the first time an in-flight performance caused a stir.
In 2023, Grammy-nominated gospel singer Bobbi Storm was nearly removed from a Delta flight.
Storm refused to stop singing her new single and insisted that she was 'doing what the Lord is telling me to do'.
In a separate incident, a group of Taylor Swift fans broke into a rendition of 'Bad Blood' on a Southwest Airlines flight.
The massive singalong racked up millions of views and a chorus of complaints from other travellers.
For many, flying is already stressful enough without being forced to listen to an impromptu concert.
'I would have to ask to be put on a different plane,' a comment read.
'I just wanna fly, not listen to a bunch of women sing.'
These stories raised an interesting question for travellers: Where do we draw the line between fun and inconsiderate behaviour on flights?
Is it okay to break out in song, or should we quietly count down the minutes until landing?
For many seasoned travellers, there's an unspoken code of conduct when it comes to flying.
Here are a few rules to keep in mind:
The last thing you need is added stress from disruptive travellers.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, don't be afraid to ask a flight attendant for assistance.
However, if you're travelling with grandkids, it's good to remind them about being considerate to others.
Whether you're Team Moana or Team Make It Stop, this moment should be a timely reminder that a bit of courtesy goes a long way—especially at 30,000 feet.

For many seasoned travellers, there's an unspoken code of conduct when it comes to flying.
Here are a few rules to keep in mind:
- Respect the shared space: Remember, everyone is in close quarters. Loud conversations, music, or singing can quickly become a nuisance.
- Keep kids entertained—but mindful: Travelling with children is tough, but it's important to consider how their behaviour affects others. A quiet game or movie is usually a safer bet than a public performance.
- Save the performances for the destination: Unless it's a special occasion (and you have the crew's blessing), it's best to keep the show on the ground.
- Use headphones: If you want to enjoy music or movies, pop on your headphones. Your seatmates will thank you.
The last thing you need is added stress from disruptive travellers.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, don't be afraid to ask a flight attendant for assistance.
However, if you're travelling with grandkids, it's good to remind them about being considerate to others.
Whether you're Team Moana or Team Make It Stop, this moment should be a timely reminder that a bit of courtesy goes a long way—especially at 30,000 feet.
