When moving wife and 5 week old sprog from AKL (New Zealand) to JFK (NY City) via LHR in early 90's BA were exceptional in looking out for us.
Whilst no 1 daughter clamped for 'inflight re-fuelling' during the take off roll and descent ,no noises except contented snuffling could be heard from her and the missus, who was in champagne induced relaxation...probably accounts for the contented snuffling from no1 as the alcohol gave the milk a certain edge( wondered why she has always been keen on wine at meals!!)
The overnight sector ex-SIN had a Queen's Messenger join the flight .... typical ex-military officer type with moustache, regimental tie, and attache case handcuffed to wrist...gave my wife and no 1 a look as if to say' thats all I need is a screaming baby on the long haul to London'
No 1 hardly whimpered the night through so when we landed at LHR the crusty old boy mentioned as we were departing the flight, that he was most impressed by her silence during the flight
and wished that all infants were as quiet including his own in the past!
A nice sentiment to be said to my wife who was coming to terms with a new baby....made a big difference to her confidence!
