Amal and George Clooney Gave Out Noise-Canceling Headphones on a Plane to Block Their Twins' Crying
It is a truth universally acknowledged that it’s majorly stressful—for parents and nearby passengers alike—to travel with a newborn baby. But new parents Amal and George Clooney, of course, have already mastered the art of flying with two infants on an international flight.
Sources told Page Six that during a recent flight to the UK, the Clooneys “gave all the first-class passengers noise-canceling headphones” just in case their 6-month-old twins Ella and Alexander started crying in midair. The headphones were reportedly emblazoned with the logo of Casamigos, Clooney’s tequila company, and came with a note “apologizing ahead of time” for any noisiness from the twins. Among the recipients of the headphones was Quentin Tarantino, per the insider, but the new parents’ preparedness was all for naught. “The babies didn’t make a peep!” the source said.
Amal and George Clooney aren’t the first air travel experts to distract their fellow passengers from any potential tantrums with material goods. Other parents have passed out ear plugs, goody bags, and gracious notes. And during a flight from New York City to Long Beach, California, around Mother’s Day in 2016, JetBlue actually rewarded passengers every time a baby cried: For each cry sesh, passengers received a voucher for 25 percent off a future JetBlue flight. Needless to say, tears and tantrums on the cross-country flight were met with cheers and applause rather than eyerolls and grumbles.
