You should book one of the many flights that come without kids. They are on private jets, and when you pay for them, you get to choose exactly who is on them.



I'm constantly amazed by the number of people who get so agitated at the sight of the child and the thought that there is even a possibility that the critter will be disruptive. Seriously, people need to get over it.



Nope, wouldn't bother me. In fact, had a couple of Intl F flights over the past few weeks with lots of kids (On CX, no less!). Some of the kids even made noise! Those headphones came in awfully handy.



Seriously, get off your high horse. First class and airline lounges are not exclusively "adult places." If they were, the airlines would have rules indicating as such. There was no indication in this thread that the children misbehaved. And the way you stereotype parents today is particularly disgraceful. How you dressed on an airline when you were a child is not relevant today and, for that matter, dress is no indication of how a person will behave.

I'll go back to my first statement: if you don't want kids on your plane, fly private.

No, adult places are places that are designed primarily for adults. Like Disney is designed primarily for children. Sadly and yes, the number of children acting inappropriately in public seem to outweight the ones that don't. And I came from a family of two working professionals so the Mom needs to work excuse does not fly. I have had countless number of parents tell me this also.

Maybe its because you are one of those people that believe your children should go anywhere and behave in any manner and it should also be accepted by everyone around you.
