Cap Ten Oblivious: but first class is only a thin curtain away from coach

I agree. Children should be treated as baggage that's not allowed under the seats on flights.

I feel a better business plan would have been a pet FRIENDLY airline, where pets and their owners can both get seats on the plane together, maybe have sealed off little cubicles kinda like a train... I could not afford to fly my cats on vacation with me anyways, but if I could, I would find having my pets on a different plane with a different flight schedule just as stressful if not more than having them in cargo. I worry enough about losing my luggage :-/

Two words: Cough medicine.

Give it to them 30 minutes before take-off, and they'll sleep the whole dang way. Parents always get snippy about drugging their kids, but seriously, once or twice for plane trips isn't going to hurt them.

If its an airbus, you'll never see your poor little pet again. The ritual killing of people by airbus has moved to dogs!

davidphogan: Good, get them off the planes I fly on. One dog shiatting within 10 feet of me on a plane was enough to make me wish they all were banned.

They need to make an airline for infants too and ban them from traveling with us civilized people.


YAY.
