As a AA million miler flyer that flew almost exclusively first class with my daughter for the first two years of her life I can tell you the condemning looks and attitudes of fellow passengers if and when a child cries only makes matter worse! It stresses the parent in an already stressful situation. From a parents standpoint it's hard enough too fly with a lap child, but flying in first certainly is a step up from trying to maneuver a child with varying needs in coach. At least in first the juice or the space to get up and walk the child so they do settle down is available. Obviously anyone having flown with a small child will appreciate the challenge, yet we will all attest to in every walk of life there are good children and yes there are brats but I think we can say the same about the array of adults!
