The best idea is to create a travel kit for your child. In the travel bag include the “necessary” items such as pens, pencils, crayons, travel games and writing paper.

Should I have told my friend “Sorry, can’t be there for you in your time of need. I have kids who might annoy people on the plane”? No.
And what about when family members can’t afford to fly to see you, but you can. Do you tell them tough luck because you refuse to fly?
I don’t think it’s a big deal to take a flight with your children. There’s preparation you can do to make it as easy as possible on you and others.
And it’s not always parents who don’t care. Sometimes the greatest parents even have kids who have a bad day, and sometimes that unfortunately coincides with the flight.
I think this article presents a great idea that could make people much happier.

both my husband and i live in a country where our families are not. for the first 2 years we have made it known that if anyone wants to see their newest family member, they need to hop on a plane and come to us.
also, its not the babies or the kids that are really the problem. its the parents who don’t seem to care. on a 16 hr flight to Australia last year, a couple with twins happily slept most of the way while the twins screamed endlessly for hours next to them. the guy across from them ended up screaming out in frustration and was promptly told to keep it down.

I think they should be charged a premium for it, though!

Seems like it could make things less stressful for everyone involved. Not a bad idea Abby!

But then you said those non mom friendly passengers made your trips more relaxing and comfortable. So to me it sounds as if you said you’re all for baby free planes because theres friendlier, kid free people around. But um, if there werent any kids allowed then you wouldn’t be able to travel. So having nice passengers wouldn’t matter because you wouldn’t be traveling. Right?
