child-free flight


Babies are such a non-issue on flights.

I have less of a problem with kids than I do entitled a-hole adult passengers. Can we get special accommodations for that?

I'd rather have a flight with no 400lb females

seems like the only time infants have been an issue with me was on descent, I think the air pressure changes set off the crying.

make the 9 yr olds that cough the entire time sit in the cargo hold, though.

Yeah I’d rather sit next to a kid than a 300 pound fat frick.

I don't fly much anymore, but I'd definitely pay more for that privilege in a restaurant.

I will pay extra to not have to sit next to a fattie. Can we have fattie and non-fattie areas of the plane?

I’m sure some people have horror stories but I fly probably 10-20 times in a given year and I cannot think of a time a kid or baby was crying/loud for more than a couple mins at a time.

They usually get all ornery near the end of the descent so even if they start crying it’s only the last couple mins of the flight.

And if you aren’t flying with NC headphones you’re doing it wrong anyway.

I agree. It seems right at take off for a minute and during the decent but not enough to bother.

Kids rarely flight first class anyway...

And in the unlikely event it happens, cheap headphones solve it.

They will have a hard time pulling it out of their butts when they are about to get hammered with the Union forcing them to pay them a lot more money.

No, I don't think the airlines are getting their heads out of their asses because one Turkish airline offers a child-free section on flights to a Caribbean island.

Longer than 4 ht flights, I would pay to not have the risk of kids behind me


Don't worry, some parents have no problem with them running up and down the aisles during service, I'm sure one will visit you soon.

I was packing my shite to get off a flight to Chicago? once, and someone tapped me on the shoulder and told me I had the patience of Job. I has to ask what she was talking about, and she explained that the kid behind me had been kicking my seat for over two hours. I didn't notice, because I learned very early on that I can't correct any situation until I get the hell off the plane.

I've watched families with toddlers get moved out of the exit rows, only to move the kids back to the exit row with other adult family members. What are you gonna do?

True. Parents of babies that don't understand all you have to do is give them a pacifier, or something to swallow to break the ear seal are, to deal with pressure issues.

But the last airport I looked for gum for my kids, where it wasn't sold? Orlando. Where more kids probably fly than anywhere else, in apparent sop to "gum pollution," or some shite.
