    Never mind Ant, the pictures that you managed were good ones. Nice to see the Great Grandma with a kiddie on her lap, she looks well chuffed. Shame your flight arrangements were half screwed up, just what you don't need on a long haul. Thanks for sharing.

    Yep and while we are at it please ban anyone who is more then 3% overweight, anyone who smells offensive, anyone who has been drinking and anyone who has had a cigarette in the previous 24 hours.

    Just remember it is my infant who is subsidising your ticket price.

    That price didn't include the 15,000 baht in taxes, so for my family it was 150,000 baht compared to Royal Bruneis 79,000 baht.

    I agree. They should give them drugs to sleep for the duration of the flight and put them in a separate compartment, or the hold, as they do with pets.

    When you travel in business you don't have to put up with them fortunately, a lot of airlines don't allow them anywhere else except economy.

    Because they're are charged fare without actually taking up a seat.

    Another good reason to keep them at home.

    It's a lot more difficult to find someone to come around on a regular basis while you're on holiday and feed your children than it is pets for some reason.

    I think the only fair thing for all concerned is to place the families together at the rear of the plane.

    I realize that the kiddies cant help it when there throwing a spack and screaming there boxes off but why should childless people have to put up with this when we all pay the same fair ?

    Foking bolliks I say and sitting near a family when there kids are playing up is a foking nightmare.

    Anyone who has had kids and flown with them knows the pain and suffering that goes with it.

    The only problem I have had with my kids when flying is take off and landing and due to atmospheric changes which causes ear canal irritation.

    Parents that take their kids on a plane and don't carry with them things to keep them amused should be banned for life. A few books and scribble kits usually ensures everyone's trip is bearable.

    I agree LT.

    I disagree with Terry saying "I realize that the kiddies cant help it when there throwing a spack and screaming there boxes off"

    Okay, you can expect some discomfort and perhaps a few tears, but hissy fits reflect bad parenting.

    The last 12 hour flight I did my little one did cry for about 3 or 4 minutes after hitting some very bad turbulence (small commuter flight) everyone was very understand and sympathetic (scared the crap out of them as well) Screaming for the sake of screaming is a completely different story.
    News is what someone, somewhere is trying to suppress - everything else is just advertising.

    It just ain't fare is it Terry?
    I don't see why parents can't control their brats in flight, never had a problem, things to keep them amused, a belt around the ear if they get restless and a slug of Cointreau if that doesn't work, then its good night nurse for the ankle biters.

    I love seeing people like Terry on flights, they hate you as soon as you are near them, doesn't matter if the kids are perfect on the flight, they sit and stew in their own juices waiting for a reason to be annoyed.

    Fuck 'em I say.

    Exactly - I don't necessarily have a problem with the kids. It's usually their 'parents' who need a good slap.

    Don't sit near the bulkheads if possible as that's where they put the kids in economy.

    It's usually infants and some toddlers that scream their heads off throughout a flight. When they get a little older they mellow out a bit and are more excited than anything else.
    Mortals you defy the Gods, I sentence you to travel among unknown stars, until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

    Taking very small children on crowded flights to see Grandma & Grandpa is an exercise in utter nonsense that displays an egotistical disergard for all and sundry, children included.

    How can parents claim they’re enabling their children to bond with elderly relatives? These kids are too young to even remember the relatives! The only memories such self-absorbed parents forge are those of a ruined flight for all the other passengers and sheet misery for the crew.

    Think about someone other than yourselves - buy tickets for the grandparents and treat them to a visit to you!
