Should Kids Be Banned From Business Class?
This is a topic that comes up from time to time, and it's back again after a disastrous two-leg journey on Asiana Airlines, featuring screaming kids aboard both flights and in both business class lounges. An excerpt... "...When you’re flying in long-haul first or business class, you aren’t merely paying for transportation. You are paying for comfort. For luxury, even.

Wayne...I agree this is normally a parent problem, not a kid problem, something which is a daily observation in my practice. Frankly, I would rather fly with my grandkids, 8 & 6 who each have flowing transoceanic and trans continental since birth than many of the louts who currently live "up front". Well prepared parents are engaged with their kids, they come equipped with appropriate diversions, videos with earpieces, snacks and comfort appliances (teddy bears, blankets, etc.). My ninth law: wimpy parents have wimpy, bratty kids.
You got it, Daddy rabbit. I'm outa here. Gotta go see my GP to try and get rid of a bad cough before the cancer surgery next week. Later
Good Luck! :)
Good luck, Wayne...if I can do anything go ahead and email me: [email protected].
My advice? Talk with your wallet. Fly coach until they clean things up in BC. It's not worth the enormous premium they are charging you.
