I'm sure you're right Baz. TBF all of my flights have been in Europe, so I've not had to put up with what you describe.
So I have no solution I'm afraid.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There isn’t really a solution. Despite kind of agreeing with diafol, having kids and parents all show horned into one section sounds pretty brutal, I think we just have to take the rough with the smooth. To be fair the kids part is only a tiny fraction of the dislike I have towards the whole air travel experience, they are for me the least of the problem, it’s everything else that winds me up. Puts me right off flying.

I plan to stay child free and generally find kids I don't know to be annoying, but I'm happy to remind myself that I was an annoying little tuurd at some point and that's just what kids do.

I only really get annoyed if the parents are completely unengaged, never at the kids themselves
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I remind myself of that when I get annoyed, I was exactly the same once. Kids can also be quite entertaining at times on flights, if you aren’t knackared. Especially in terminals when you’ve got nowt to do but kill time, they can be pretty funny with the antics they get up to

Absolutely. Although it usually depends on my mood.

If I've had a few pints and I'm on the way somewhere sunny then it's all good fun, if I'm on the way home and have work tomorrow then less so

It's never the child's fault of course.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah sometimes I have to remind myself of that and that the parents are likely more stressed by it than I am

But when parents can seemingly tune out and just let their kids annoy the rest of the plane or whatever, that's when I get annoyed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The main thing that gets me is when you get a dirty look when you happen to look at a crying baby. There's a loud noise so I am going to look that way. If the parents just acknowledged it in a looking for a bit of sympathy way then people would get along much better.

As Baz says above the whole thing is crap.

15kg Luggage in hold. "Case is 17kg sir we have to charge unless you unload it into your hand luggage." Which is going on the same plane...

Don't drink the cheap duty free spirits on a flight and get drunk...but buy some of these overprices miniatures.

This lovely lasagne will only set you back £12.

£5 or is it more now to drop someone off at Manchester Airport!

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh

It’s a massive pissstake, designed for nothing else but to fleece you, facking hate it. Really surprised people put up with it, it’s total daylight robbery. As I said, kids crying are only a very tiny fraction of the whole miserable experience.

I look at it the other way.....everyone knows kids go on planes, if you don't like it tough......its like moaning other cars are on the road when you are.

Suck it...or dont travel dude 😁
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fat smelly people go on planes. Do you suck it up GB
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I do.....but your missing the point anyway. Fat people can choose NOT to be fat or smelly....Babbies CANNOT choose to not cry....do u get the difference fella, do ya..

If it is bad for you Diafol, you can be sure it is worse for the parents.

We had twins and on short haul we’d buy one extra seat so we could at least put one down and get to the loo. It never failed to confuse the fck out the staff when their headcount was one short and we always had to be aware when they were doing it and alert them or the plane was delayed.

And if you think it’s hard wiping your @rse in a plane toilet try changing a nappy. More contortions than the Kama sutra.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
good effort Silver

Diafol, you never know someone else’s situation, as to why they are travelling, they could be in dire straits with no other option.

Yes, grandma, suck them eggs biiiitch.

Just go first class, then you get your own room (on emirates at least)

I'd rather sit close to a crying baby than a rotten farter or loudmouth adult.

I was dreading taking my kid on her first flight but she’s generally been great and been a quite a few now, we didn’t take her too early (largely because of Covid) and make sure she’s occupied with stuff to do. Tbh I don’t mind kids crying, what I find more annoying is kids who are behind you kicking the back of your seat and their parents doing nothing about it.

I used to deliberately take my babies on flights just to pizz of the other passengers...we never went anywhere, just the airport then a plane back

The worst is the guy who gets on clearly sick as a dog, coughing, sneezing. That facker is guaranteed to be in the next seat. Asian travelers wearing masks have the right idea, did that way before covid too, fair play to them

I am majorly tolerant of everyone, so I do not bring attention to myself and the inevitable joint or two I may have on my person.

Weed = Tolerance to all.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve literally just this exact experience

Had a kid kick my seat my seat all the way on a 4 hour flight….then playing with toys and banging his tray attached to my seat

The parents told him off once then preceded to get blind drunk and didn’t say another word to him

It’s the parents I blame not the kid who doesn’t understand and was bored

If I had behaved like that my parents wouldn’t have had to ask me twice though

There should be separate sections for families on planes and they can all annoy one another
