      When my kids were infants, the last 1hr flight left em cranky and tired. At midnight, the cabin lights were dim and my son was wailing. My wife and I felt so bad for him and the fellow passengers as we tried desperately to comfort him. I vividly recall looking up and seeing quite a few weary, yet smiling faces as folks quietly supported us. That moment has stayed with me, and if you have a crying infant on a plane you’ll get nothing but quiet support from me.

        I was on a flight where the parents of a one year old brought a big bag of those cheap yellow and red ear plugs and just started passing them around the cabin. We amazingly didn’t need them, but I have never forgotten that gesture. I’m pretty sure the flight attendants gave them all the drinks they wanted just for that.

      I get it. I guarantee you, though, that Linda is having a much, much worse time than you are with the baby.

      Nothing like being at ground zero and having nothing work and everyone on the plane judge you.

      My kids were pretty good as infants on planes, but every peep they make makes you feel like major inconvenience

    “the flights only $1200, why do we need to save an extra $3000?”

        “horrible concepts”

        You haven’t been on a long flight before, have you? Ejection is a bit much for most, but at least we should be able to vote some people into a little cell. On some airlines it might need to be more like a section than a cell.

          The longest flight I’ve been on has been about 2 hours. But I don’t think the difference would be too big since I have a pair of headphones with ANC, so most noise is gone. Only annoyance would be people kicking my seat or forcing their feet in my aisle from behind, but I’d solve that by spilling some water on there
