On a trip last week, this lady and her two exceptionally well behaved children sat next to me in first class. The children were little angels. I'm also not convinced that someone in first class is more entitled to a kid free or trouble free flight than anyone else.

They are better than the obnoxious middle manager giving the world an earful while talking over his Crackberry. The problem is there is no universal standard for good behavior, as we are reminded every time we leave home. As frequent travelers, we learn to cope with the situation or else let it ruin the trip.

It sounds this week like you are saying no kids in first class; put them somewhere else e.g. In with the rest of us to suffer. No fair! FOUL! HEY!
