Does anyone have any advice or suggestions on how to AVOID sitting next to a screaming baby in Business Class? Just flew on the new A380 from LHR-SIN. Sat upstairs in Business Class in the middle section row 22. A family with children and a screaming baby sat in front of me in row 21. As its impossible to use miles on the A380 spending top dollar on a Business Class ticket to hear a baby screaming for 12 hours has become my nightmare.

Is there a way to try to avoid sitting next to a screaming baby or basically are we all rolling the dice each time we fly?
