Thanks for at least seeing the issue Rainbow - glad I am not really alone in this.
Funnily enough I think it was clear that I did say even if one or two flights had the option of being child free would be nice although I do take on board some of the comments regarding adult pax as well who are not always the best behaved on board. I still maintain though it would be probably be a vote winner with some pax and even if kids are on board with the layout of cabins etc I am sure something could be done with the config on wide bodies to allow them their own cabin of sorts.
Guess the general attitude of parents though (not all)does little to help the cause. The glare and mouthful i got from a mother when I told her kid to stop kicking the back of my seat was a bit of a shock! Ho hum.
