George and Amal, so wonderfully down to earth

Honest answer: what is one of the most annoying things that can happen when you have to fly? Yes, delays and a canceled flight, I get that, but I mean when you are really already in your seat? Kids, right. Or yes, babies then. In any case, those in the age where flying still feels unfamiliar and thus crying hard is the outcome. I know, they don't do it on purpose and parents often feel awkward because you want your fellow passengers not to be bothered by it but hey, it happens.

George and Amal knew that too when they recently boarded the plane with their brand new twins Ella and Alexander who were born last summer. But they had a plan. They actually handed out noise-canceling headphones to everyone in business class to ensure that if the twins started crying, they wouldn't be bothered by it. Personalized by the way, with the logo of George's tequila company (how did I not know this?!).

It turned out that the babies had both been completely silent but hey, nice gift anyway, right?
