I understand that Syd. What I'm not understanding is why one wouldn't share personal experiences on one's own fb page?


people have been known to be fired and others not hired after the fb postings were read. it's not new news.

To the OP's question:

I doubt it would be that helpful. I think this is an issue of people doing their best to be considerate of others around them rather than the airline trying to change their regulations or flight offerings.

Yes! I'll pay more for no crying, screaming babies or children. I have no problem with well behaved children. I know children are children. but i don't want to put up with the out of control child.

I agree Kitty. I can easily put up with a crying infant but the older children that scream, kick seats etc. nope. And the parents that think they are cute...well that's another story. I am fed up with rudeness. And Kitty I'm with you on the other thread too!!

anything that can go viral becomes public knowledge. we are discussing more than just a mother and child. read the other responses.

you said "What I'm not understanding is why one wouldn't share personal experiences on one's own fb page?" you didn't specify. sorry my response didn't fit your agenda.

I love children, particularly my grandchildren. I have been on many flights where there were screaming babies, through no fault of their own, for 8 straight hours. I was on a flight where a baby vomited all over the seat in front of me. The smell was there the entire flight. I've been on a flight where a mother left a badly soiled diaper wide open on the lid of the toilet.

Unruly adults, they remove.

I'd pay extra for an adult only flight.

I don't think it's possible but YES, I'd be willing to pay extra for a child free, meaning no one under 14, flight. But families travel and kids are kids. It is what it is. Kids really aren't the problem, parents who won't prepare the kids properly and who don't teach their kids manners are the problem. It's not the babies, it's school age kids 8, 9, 10 years old who can turn a plane ride into a torture chamber.
