Whenever threads like this come up, there are usually 3 standard responses.
1. Fly in F with your child and it will be a wonderfully generous treat.
2. Send your child by DHL and cut some air-holes.
3. A child? On a plane? Are you mad! They might disturb me while I fart, burp, and rudely demand to be looked after because I'm very important.
Personally I follow Option 1, but that's because I enjoy spending money on those I love and care for.
