Everyone knows flying with newborn babies is always an experience, both for parents and other passengers. However, these new gay dads had a plan.
They wrote a letter about the situation — having an infant — and handed it out to all other passengers. Along with goodie bags!
The world found out about this thanks to none other than One Direction’s Niall Horan, who happened to be on the flight. He tweeted about the experience and people, naturally, loved it.
‘Hi Strange,’ the letter begins. ‘My name is Marit. Today I’m 18 days old. I’m flying home to europe with my dads. This is my first flight ever. I will do my utmost to be on my best behavior to ensure that you have a peaceful flight.
‘I would like to apologize in advance if — I for any reason loose my cool, my temper, my ears hurt or my tummy gets fussy. I think my dads are more nervous than I am, so they made you this goodie bag. Have a nice flight.’

So how’d the baby do? ‘Quiet as a mouse for 10 hours,’ according to Horan.
The singer ended his tweet by wishing luck to ‘both dads’.
