Unfortunately, the presence of young children can disrupt this experience. Many premium passengers also use their time on board for work or rest. Crying babies or noisy toddlers can make it challenging to concentrate or relax. By implementing such a ban, airlines can ensure that premium passengers can maximize their productivity or rest during their flight.
Buy noise cancelling headphones if it's that much of an issue.
I fly every week, 95% of which is for work and I'm leaving my family at home. I've been in cabins where adults have been far more disruptive whether through alcohol, loud snoring (see scottishpoet above..) or genuine fear of flying than children.
I'm fortunate in the position that I can give back to my family either through avios/miles or buying tickets and we get to enjoy J the times we all travel together, we also stay in nice hotels and enjoy the lounges together. Are my children perfectly behaved all the time - no, as they're children but they have as much right to be there as the next passenger.
