Take upper.

Put nanny and kids in premium economy.

Flew VS to San Fran last month. Some dude had his whole family in there. It made the flight very bad.

I've put it in bold just to make it a bit easier for you to understand.

I wondered if anyone would be silly enough to do that. I suppose you think their lives being over means parents drop dead when they have children, eh, Mr Literal?

Thankfully ,you seem like responsible caring ,well adjusted parents,unfortunately this is ruined by the baby dispensing people who fk everything for everyone else.
You can't always predict it though - friends of ours have 4 kids with a good spread of ages and always holiday abroad. Never any problem. Last year their youngest, 3yrs old (who has flown several times) went mental as the plane was taxiing to the extent that the crew were asking if the plane should return to the terminal.

Our granddaughter (also 3) and normally a brilliant sleeper, for some reason simply never went to sleep, but was no trouble at all, on a recent overnight flight back from the US. When the seat belt signs came on to land the crew wanted her back in her own seat and she went absolutely mad, not helped by her being over-tired by then.

My wealthy cousin always flies with his wife, kid and nanny (just the one of each) in First. He lives in Hong Kong and they all fly together a lot.

You're right. I'm wrong.
Having kids gives you the right to think "fk you, fk everyone else, I've got kids, that's right, kids, and I'm the first and only person ever to do that, and that means you can all fk off, I can do what the fk I like and there's fk all you can do about it because if anyone so much as looks at my kids a bit funny I'll have them nailed to a tree, in fact, you can all bloody well adapt what you're doing so that me and my precious kids can carry on in our own pious little world of perfect harmony with the utterly deluded idea that people who <shudder> don't like my kids don't actually exist, besides, my kids are the physical embodiment of perfection so why would anyone not like having them around? I mean kids are great, especially my kids, my kids never do anything wrong nor upset anyone ever. That's simply not possible"

Yeah. Because the argument was obviously over whether they were dead or not.

Bang your head all you like. It might wake you up.

Ooooh...do I hear back-peddling?
You didn't put forward any argument, did you?
You simple said "Oh really?" thus questioning my comment regarding life after having kids.
I said, life after kids is over for the parents "as they knew it", meaning it's changed from how they lived life before.
If you can't understand that the ones I feel really sorry for are your own kids.....you selfish bd.

Is that a general rant, or pertaining to taking kids on a plane?

Very few people will have any problems if the children are well behaved.
I'm not fond of children myself and cannot stand screaming babies, but I wouldn't want children banned from aircraft.
Most children are actually pretty well behaved, it's just that the few that aren't make a lot of noise.

It isn't the kid's fault if it's 1 or 2 years old. The parents should do what my mum used to do and fill my dummy up with brandy. I was a good baby, but quite sleepy.

Earplugs and a handful of Valium; the perfect solution to horrible crying children. Half tablet of Valium should be sufficient to calm down your average stroppy baby. wink

laughI was taking you seriously, but now I just can't - you are becoming more ignorant and bigoted with each post - it's obvious you have 'issues' with kids, and with people who have kids. In my opinion, that makes you a rather sad individual. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion too, but please don't try and force it on others - or at least if you do, do please try to do it in a more articulate and reasoned way than that above.

As an aside, when my, or other's, kids behave, why are you having to adapt? What is it you're having to adapt to?

interesting that no-one considers it selfish in relation to the child?

how is a 1 year old supposed to understand that's its trapped in confined space for 8 hours? can't freely move around, create whatever mess it feels like?

e.t.c let alone understand the issues with pressure changes of turbulence?

neither will it benefit from the experience at the other end of the journey as they are way too young to appreciate their surroundings or know what its all about

If I had kids I wouldn't be holidaying abroad period until such time as they were old enough to benefit from it, what on earth is the point?
Completely disagree. I live abroad and have two young kids. The experience of them seeing their Grandparents and other family is far outweighed by the minor inconvenience of sleeping for one night on a plane.

i don't have kids am not the biggest fan of kids, however in general its not the kids fault if it acts up on the flight (unless said bin lid is an absolute monster) but more down to the parent's consideration and their planning before flight etc.

I have traveled at either ends of the plane with absolute angels that you would never even notice were there, and with kids that you just wanted to open the door and lob them out mid pacific!!!

Since when did this become Mumsnet?

Children shouldn't be in the cabin at all, much less in upper class. The only exception being when there is no space in the cargo hold.

And I am a parent.
