But there are too many occasions where parents seem to expect that the costs of their children are socialized and that they have a right to expect others to bear these costs.
However, others travelling who either don't have children or who are travelling without children, need to remember that in the end air travel is mass transit. It's a mass of people transiting from A to B together. As a result, from time to time, things may happen that may impair your enjoyment of the trip, as you're surrounded by imperfect humans being transported on an airline run by imperfect humans. That's life - Welcome to society. If you don't like it, buy a first class ticket (where the likelihood, while not eliminated, is reduced) or fly privately. |

I am a parent, and I agree 100% - Parents have a duty to put all their energy into ensuring this doesn't happen.

It might even be something the airlines could charge extra for. If people know the front of the plane is going to be kid-free, they might be more likely on some routes to pay the extra fee to ride up front where it's a little quieter. Everybody wins! |
