My kids flew J to Europe a few years ago. They were 8 and 7 at the time. They were well behaved; I quickly stopped my son from playing with his seat, which was one of the shell kinda-sorta-almost flat sleepers.

Were the kids you observed misbehaving?

The key is misbehavior..

I had to calm my 5 year old down from banging the table with a knife.. at supper.. this after a 12 hour tour, part of it in the hotel Mexico sun..

10 seconds of this, and I dealt with it.. told him to stop and gave him a time out.. thereafter the waiter coming to me and addressing the noise.. I was on top of it immediately, but was dragging chairs to set the table up.. plus the infant needed a high chair.. so was dragging that over the table to..

Could use some help from the waiters.. setting up the table..
