Luckilly on that trip I wasn't driving when I laned and they had plenty of free vodka on board to help knock me out
If the kids were out of their seats running around I would have complained to the FA.
A couple of thoughts:
1. If you were a "lap adult" then it would be appropriate for you to fly F for NO CHARGE (I'm just repeating your use of all caps).
2. Since the lap infant was a lap infant, I'm sure this is one possible explanation why it wasn't running around...

Doesn't DL have a age cutoff for F (ie, nothing below 10, or 11?)...
If I wanted to travel surrounded by rugrats, I'd still be flying SW.
I won't even get into the incredibly obnoxious teenagers in the two seats across the way... They actually said "yo, get back there" to people boarding...
Next time, if a few young people are really ruining your freebie that much, you might consider flying private...

Malaysia Airlines bans infants from its long-haul first class, and I have heard that both BA and VA are considering some flights kid-free in the premium classes...

On my last flight in F (paid) there were three kids, all of whom made zero ruckus the entire flight.
There was, however, a male in his 50's who was drinking way too much, talking loudly the entire flight (using a lot of vulgar language), and acting abusively toward the f/a's.
From this experience, should we perhaps conclude that all adults need to be banned from traveling in the FC cabin?
