Baby Ban On Airlines

How would you know that ?

Oh, just guessing.

I have no personal experience on that, myself.

Hmmm...they would be happy and fine, traveling with us.

Hmm.I can think of many WORSE alternatives...just saying'.

BTW..my entire family flew to Europe in Business Elite..the American version of First. Yes, even the children, including the one year old. No crying or behavior issues. I would be ticked, if they were treated like second class citizens and banned. Does a crying child, really bother anyone less, if they are in Coach?

.

Are you talking about Business Elite on Delta? Because that is different from First Class.

And what would your ideal minimum age be for a flight? A restaurant?

Flight: When the kid, or kids are able to behave in a car traveling on the ground for the same duration the flight would be.

Restaurant: When the kid, or kids are able to sit quietly at the table, and behave without the need for trinkets and other devices to keep them entertained.

Yes, and I know, it's not the same...but it's the American version. AF is the only international FC, I've flown. There aren't enough seats to accommodate my entire family.

Its all very subjective which is why I was wondering if the airline had a minimum age.

I just don't get the mindset of "first on the plane guy". If it's a flight on which you have an assigned seat, why do you want to spend more time on the plane than you have to?

I agree Get your money's worth!

This guy was on our last return flight from Orlando, he rushed off in such a hurry he nearly nocked over a little old lady Seriously?? We thought maybe he was trying to catch a connecting flight, but nope- we got off the plane and there he was standing there yacking on his phone

Unfortunately your children IMO are in the minority and thus the reasons for the glares. I don't glare or humph or snarl, I just get up and move.

I also think that sometimes adults ie flight attendants can and will chastise other adult passengers for poor behavior but when it comes to kids they won't because the parent is there and it would be stepping over the line. Also, crying, or squirming, wiggling, talking loudly/shrill etc is not poor behavior for a baby or a toddler its just the way they are.

Sure, maybe kids get a bad wrap, but I'm heading out to dinner tonight and the first thing I will tell the hostess when she goes to seat us is don't put me near small children.

I don't think that kids that behave are necessarily in the minority, it's just that we don't notice them. We only notice the screaming kids and the kids that run amuck. Trust me, my son would have known no end to trouble if he acted like some of the kids I see. Not that he was perfect but he was definitely dealt with if he acted up.

I agree with everything else you said though.
