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 Mumsnet: "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."
