Amazing, because Mommypoints and other family oriented bloggers aren't usually interested in redeeming premium cabin awards. For the most part they are interested in family travel for free.

So like I said earlier, FTers are ruining FT a lot more than the bloggers are with the constant bickering, inflammatory posts, like peachfront's in this thread, and the ensuing arguments that detract from having a reasonable topical conversation between intelligent individuals.

And what's even more ridiculous to me is the belief that kids shouldn't be traveling in whatever cabin you are in. My daughter traveled in her own seat from almost the day she was born, and never caused a problem. So if you want to talk about kids being a problem for you, this is not that thread. It's a completely different topic. Nothing you say is going to get rid of kids traveling in F, J or any class for that matter, so it's really futile IMO and ridiculous to think there's anything you can do to change it.

So again, how about taking that sub-topic somewhere else where those that are interested in the debate can join in, those that are not, can just not bother to read it? Isn't that the reasonable thing to do?
