    Oh dear.......a review from Skytrax on a recent BA flight.

    My sister and I flew British Airways business class from London to Seattle on Aug 1st. Sitting in aisle seats were two families, both with children that were climbing over the partitions, running up and down the aisles, and swinging from the TV monitors. The crew never said a word of reprimand; mostly they hid behind the curtains and let the tantrums and screaming continue. For this I paid $5,000? Never again!

    You can sympathise though.

    Can we campaign for character analysis for every person boarding a plane? Any of you ever found an adult irritating? Do we chuck them out to make a perfect plane.

    Some of you lot are so arrogant.

    I find adults who let their kids run amok on an aircraft very irritating indeed!

    We have flown to California twice in the last year in economy, there was absolutly no problem with any of the kids or adults on these flights.

    I do however have major objections to some of the kids running riot on the short hauls to european destinations with chavvy, beer swilling, knuckle dragging, loud obnoxious, don't care parents, it's more the standard of the parents than the kids that seems to be a bigger factor in the disturbances on flights.
