    No, but I did have a 4 yo sitting in front of me who cried most of the way. I didn't mention that b/c, well, he's 4 years old. He was a cool kid, we played peek a boo and chatted after we landed. I hate people who don't get that people with kids are allowed to travel, and that kids are obviously not geared up to cope well with travel. My kids were fine, but the youngest was 7, so it's hardly the same.

    The world is full of arse holes. The hostess explained to this guy that he would be arrested when we landed if he didn't calm down. She also pointed out that we were landing in Malaysia and he would most likely spend a few days in a Malaysian gaol.

        Well, I had no cause to complain with my flight Hobart-Sydney, or San Fran-Dallas. That's just not interesting though, is it ?

        You'd be kidding. Two flights and no complain ? Did they finally drug you ?

          Well my son was 26 months when we did the trip to the US, I drank like a fish the whole flight and no-one said a fucking word to me about him.

            I fly a LOT. I just post about the bad ones. Mostly because I hope people get a laugh out of it. I mean, the dude farted ALL NIGHT. I'm sorry, but if that happened to someone else, I'd think it was hilarious.

                        So, QANTAS could not give me an aisle seat. Upgrading me is apparently out of the question nowadays. That's fine. I got stuck next to two old American men who were grouchy whenever I wanted to go to the toilet ( I only asked if the guy on the end went, so I had to only ask one person to move ), and they were the most flatulent people I've ever had to sit next to. Woke me up several times.

                          No, there were no visible free seats. That was the starting problem. They would have had to upgrade me to get me out of a window seat.

                            no, just ask your grumpy seat neighbor that you have to go to the bathroom regularly and you don't want to disturb them too much. no need to upgrade class, just swap... I've done that both ways, swap aisle to window and window to aisle to accomodate fellow travellers.

                                  Wow. I'm really looking forward to my flight to Spain thanks to this. Now granted I'm flying Delta but I believe you're said similar things about them. Then again is there still a company out there that you HAVEN'T had issues with? :-D At least on my flight I will be going with my wife a a bunch of her high school students so the company will be people I know for the most part.

                                      Well, they were so grumpy from the start, that I didn't dare suggest it. They heard me tell the stewardess that it was going to be a long flight if I had to sit in the window.

                                          Wow. I'm really looking forward to my flight to Spain thanks to this. Now granted I'm flying Delta but I believe you're said similar things about them. Then again is there still a company out there that you HAVEN'T had issues with? :-D At least on my flight I will be going with my wife a a bunch of her high school students so the company will be people I know for the most part.

                                          Yeah, if you sit with people you know, that solves a lot of issues. I am not sure I've flown Delta, it's United that was excreble.
