But there's a huge gray area within that. I've been on an IAD-MCO flight where my kids asked a loud question about something (baggage buggies maybe) and the guy across the aisle shot me a dirty look. No bouncing in the seats, no crawling in the aisles, but some people apparently have a higher standard than that.
