I always fly in first class and so does my 10 month old has been on 16 flights already. He has his own seat and I pay for it(cheap seats upgraded or first class awards when going overseas). I have never had a problem with him "acting up". He is very pleasant and smiles at everyone who passes by. I do feel sorry for others in first who are near a crying baby but if the parents get him/her a ticket too bad they have just as much right as anyone to be there. It is no worse than being by someone who didn't shower or snores very loud.
