A MUM who pays to travel in First Class with her baby has defended doing so, insisting he always has the best sleep in his plush seat.

Bayleigh Dayton explained that she always opts to pay the extra so that she and her little boy can travel in comfort.

But the decision often causes controversy when she posts about it online.

In a video on her TikTok page, Bayleigh showed herself sitting in her seat, while her baby kipped on his own seat/bed next to her.

“Please don’t tell me you’re flying Business Class with a baby?” she wrote over the top of the clip.

Before adding: “Oh God, no. We’re flying First!”

“I would highly recommend flying first class with a baby,” Bayleigh wrote in the caption for the video, which showed her son enjoying a peaceful sleep while also sporting hydrating patches under his eyes.

“The door is my favourite part.

“He slept 9 of the 12 hours and everyone loved him!”

“How much is it for a baby?” one person asked in the comments section.

To which Bayleigh replied: “They charge based on age and calculate a percentage of your ticket.”

And others commented to say they can entirely relate to the former Big Brother star’s decision to fly First with her baby.

“When I traveled with my 3 month old baby we’re were in first class also and it was so comfortable for the both of us, worth every penny,” one wrote.

“This is the reason why I want to fly first class on international flights,” another agreed.

“Especially with babies. Keep their sleep schedules are uninterrupted as possible, but also look how freaking cosy!”

“We did with our 2yr old & 5yr old on our long haul trip! Best decision ever!” a third concurred.

“I would definitely recommend it!” someone else said.

“I had a momma and baby next to me on a Delta 1 first class flight.

“That baby was comfortable and content!”

Not everyone was on board with Bayleigh’s decision though, with some trolls insisting they couldn’t think of anything worse than having a baby travelling alongside them in First Class.

“F**k that – if I’m paying first class I don’t want no brats there!” one raged.

“I had a 17 hour flight in business class and there was a screaming child the entire damn time,” another sighed.

“It was absolutely ridiculous – the parents did nothing!”

“So happy for all other business class passengers who wanted to spend their flight in comfort, now they can enjoy 16 hours of crying baby!” a third wrote, sarcastically.
