Dad makes baby 'apologise' to plane passengers 'for what she put them through'
After landing in Atlanta from London, dad Joseph was filmed cradling his baby daughter Ava who started smiling at all passengers disembarking - and her mum filmed the adorable moment A dad made his five-month-old baby"apologise" to plane passengers "for what she put them through" on a long-haul flight. Adorable footage shared on social media shows dad Joseph cradling baby Ava after leaving the aircraft when they landed in Atlanta, Georgia, from London, England. The little girl can be seen smiling as other passengers disembark and looks at them as they walk past with their luggage. The clip, shared by Ava's mum Hannah Chestnut, went viral on Instagram. On top of the video, the mum wrote: "We told her she had to apologise for everyone face-to-face for what she put them through on that flight." READ MORE: Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, TUI and BA rules for bringing babies on flights But Hannah, who is originally from the UK, said Ava "actually did surprisingly well on the flight." The proud mum also has another daughter - Ava's twin - and said that she and Joseph have decided to travel with their babies instead of being "deterred" by their age. Talking to Newsweek, Hannah said her daughters had not been "too fussy" on the plane, but since Ava "kept kept smiling at all the other passengers as they got off the plane" while the family waited for their pram, she decided to film it as if the girl was apologising to everyone who passed by. The mum said: "Ironically, on the flight right after the one we got off of in the video, Ava was super loud and upset, so that was the flight we actually should've filmed the video after!" After she posted the video on her Instagram account The Mum Crew, where she has more than one million followers, Hannah received many encouraging comments from other people. "I'll never apologise for a baby being a baby," one wrote. Another joked: "She looked at everyone like 'and I'll do it again, watch this.'" Someone else said: "With that cute face... No apologies needed." One more added: "I'll never be mad at a baby for crying. A kid that should know better is one thing, but an actual baby is gonna cry." But others were less impressed as one person commented: "Saying this as a new mum of a 4-month-old… NOBODY cares about your baby. Let them board the plane without you bothering them for social media attention." A viewer said: "What is it with parents thinking everyone wants to look at their baby." Responding to the reactions she received online, Hannah said: "It's been so fun to see the video go viral." She added: "We never expected such a silly moment to reach so many people so quickly."

Lone flight crossing Iran? Viral video of single aircraft flying over Iranian airspace leaves TikTokers baffled
Amid the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, a viral TikTok video showing a single aircraft flying through Iranian airspace while the rest of the area appears very empty on the flight has sparked widespread curiosity. The viral video has come in the wake of Israeli strikes in Iran that took place on June 13. In response to escalating tensions, Iran and Iraq have reportedly closed their airspace completely, while Jordan, Syria and Israel are seeing only a flow of flight activity. According to Indy100, the flight tracking data indicates that the first aircraft began rerouting away from Tehran at nearly 00:06 UTC, despite the Iranian and Iraqi airspace still being busy at the same time. TikTokers baffled by a flight crossing Iran amid airspace The viral clip appears to show a lone flight making its way across the region. As is common internet fashion, users match the footage with the trending Jet2 audio, where people humorously share holiday mishaps set to the upbeat jingle from the airline's advertisement: "Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday." However, the Indy100 report suggests that the flight in question wasn't operated by Jet2. In fact, it was depicted as a Cargolux cargo service en route from Zhengzhou to London. But the airline says that the situation isn't quite the same as it appears. But is the Iran single-flight viral video real? Cargolux told Indy100, "We are aware of the recent information/statements circulating on social media regarding recent Cargolux flights alleged to be using Iranian airspace, based on the data received on a publicly available app." 9-second video of the clearing of Iranian and Iraqi airspace. Cargolux firmly clarifies that none of its flights pass through Iranian airspace. Other airlines may also be affected by inaccurate data displayed on publicly accessible flight tracking apps. She continues that Cargolux operates with state-of-the-art technology systems, which are similar to those that are used by all major airlines, ensuring that they know the exact position of our aircraft at all times.

Beautiful European seaside city named 'Dubai dupe' but with cheap £87 flights
This small seaside hospot is perfect for those who want to jet away but keep the costs down - and it's based right on the picturesque coast, perfect for catching some sunrays If you are dreaming of a summer holiday but don't want to fork out thousands, this gorgeous European city might be your answer. With summer in full swing, you may be thinking about jetting off, and now this Turkish city has been labelled as a 'Dubai dupe'. With flights to Antalya for a five day trip costing around £640, it's much more convenient than the same trip to Dubai costing a huge £896. The sunny spot is located on Turkey's picturesque Turquoise Coast, and is the largest city on Turkey's western Mediterranean coastline, which is both classically beautiful and stylishly modern. Spanning across West Asia and Southeast Europe, Turkey (Türkiye) boasts a balmy climate, sugar-like sand, cobalt waters, and acclaimed water parks - making it a great seaside resort for tourists. Travel site Lonely Plant said Antalya is "very much a destination in it's own right and said: "The old city wraps around a splendid Roman-era harbour with clifftop views of hazy-blue mountain silhouettes that are worth raising a toast to. Just outside of the central city are two beaches and one of Turkey's finest museums." One of the most popular and best-rated attractions on Tripadvisor is Kaleci, its seafront historic district that dates back to the Roman era. Lonely Planet said it "offers atmospheric accommodation in the finely restored Ottoman houses on its winding lanes." And within its windy streets, visitors will come across Hadrian's Gate, the city's clock tower and the Tekeli Mehmet Pasa Cami, an Ottoman-era mosque. But aside from the attractions, what makes Antalya so special are the beautiful beaches, and tourists can explore the best of the Turquoise Coast's spectacular views. Konyaalti Beach is the region's best-rated on Tripadvisor, where holidamakes can enjoy crystal-clear water and gorgeous views of the mountains. Whle another popular area on the Turquoise Coast is Lara Beach, which is renowned for its golden sand and stretches for 8km long. It's an easy destination to get to, with Jet2, British Airways, easyJet, Pegasus and TUI all offering direct flights from the UK to Antalya and the duration is around four and a half hours long. If you're a true savvy bargain hunter you can get the flights for anywhere between £70-£90. There is also another spot in Turkey that is quickly becoming a bucket list hotspot four tourists. Goreme, a small town with just over 2,000 residents, is located in the Cappadocia region of central Turkey. It's close to other notable cities like Nevsehir, Urgup, and Avanos. Despite its modest population, Goreme attracts over a million visitors annually, making it a popular destination for those seeking something different.
