...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.

Hi Steve!

I think it's selfish to complain about children at all. Young children do not go by train, boat or plane by them self. Their parents decided it. Complain to them.

And maybe there is a chance you can understand them, if you imagine to be a parent.

Best regards, Tilo
