Sorry for omiting details. Children are 3 and 6. Travel is intl in J on 747 and 380.
While at home I like to direct TV in certrain directions, to be honest on the plane whatever keeps them happy and entertained is fine.
Re crews, IMO CX seems to always be good with kids, whereas most of the time QF is good, but sometimes we get what we call the "Kath and Kim" crew (named, after the two pseudo rich female characters) who feel that children should not be in the J cabin.
Thanks!
