The intolerance openly displayed (one might say bragged on) by some in this thread is breathtaking.

Yes...let's ban children from flights...at least until they stop throwing fits...let's say around age 6. And we should also ban old folks. You know...the ones who tend to have heart attacks and cause medical diversions...I think age 60 is a good cut-off point. And of course folks from the fine State of New York because they talk louder than folks from, say, Texas.

Get a life folks. Everyone has the right to fly if they pay. If you don't like it, drive to Europe. If I buy a seat for my kids, why should I sit in the back if I've paid for the seats just like you have. Good thing none of you were ever children and threw fits.
