Thanks to, SBM12 we researched the family room before going so I could determine if it was appropriate and could plan ahead. We used the family room, that is what it is there for She was out in the main bit with me to get snacks and drinks, to use the bathroom and check the flight status. We stayed in the room so she could play without disturbing others. She whispered the whole time and got compliments from business people in the club and on the flight as kept whispering with her finger on her lips "Mummy, is this a good inside voice?" and played quietly. She charmed them. I had people saying that they were wary when they saw her coming but she was an angel. They were giving her their dessert and pretzels and one even coloured with her and pointed out the Statue of Liberty. She would never be allowed to run wild. She is 3 and of course has her moments but as a good parent I can manage her. I understand about unruly children but they are a minority. I do wish parents with discipline and attempt to prepare for long trips as they give the rest of us a bad name.
