Having been on a BA flight from Heathrow to the Seychelles in Business class last June with an infant, not ours, (+/- 15months) on board at the front of the cabin I am biased. The child moaned for it's mother and when given to her moaned for the father. It was allowed to toddle up and down the cabin, with smiling parents. This for an over night flight. On the return three weeks later, yes it was there again. This was a daytime flight... 10 hours and the same attitude prevailed. Why are people so self absorbed? Having paid my well earned monies for two seats, why am I confronted with this? When we had young children they were not on long haul flights until of an age that they could understand life and other people's needs... that to me is life and respect... upbringing also.
I'm seemingly getting ancient and grouchy... but...?
