...should be banned. On the flight back from Hong Kong to London, a collection of about half a dozen small children conspired to cry, shout, wail and shriek nigh-on constantly. For twelve hours. :-(

I think it's incredibly selfish to take kids on planes when they're too young to understand what's going on, or to behave reliably. Children make noise, that's natural and expected. Forcing hundreds of other people around you to deal with that noise in an enclosed space for extended periods with no way to escape is just wrong, in my opinion.

Re: Small children on long-haul flights...

Honestly,

there are more adults with more issues on a plane. All my last travels with a plane were interrupted by adults who had heart attacks, or just fainted during the flight, needing more attention then a small child or baby means a doctor or a hospital.

So for me, I would like to see more children on planes, because then you know, that you are still alive and you don't need a doctor.
