A recent video shared on social media has the potential to spark controversy. In the pictures (see below), recorded by a passenger, a boy is given a tambourine to play during the flight. The photo was reportedly taken on October 8 aboard a Flair Airlines flight between Calgary and Montreal.
Air travel can be challenging for many people, especially due to limited space and close contact with other passengers. It is important that all passengers respect others and behave in a way that ensures the safety and wellbeing of everyone on board.
In this context, taking musical instruments such as the tambourine into an enclosed environment such as an airplane can be viewed as a lack of consideration for other travelers.

The noise and vibration caused by the tambourine can be disturbing and cause discomfort for some people, especially during a long flight. In addition, loud and constant music can affect the rest and peace of passengers who want to relax or work during the flight.
It is important to remember that each person has their own musical preferences and noise tolerance. Ultimately, it is important to find a balance between personal satisfaction and respect for the space and rights of other passengers. When traveling, it is each individual’s responsibility to act with consideration, empathy and mutual respect and to create a pleasant atmosphere for everyone on board.
