Not given connecting rooms

Dunroamin

Just another point, surely the children will be left on their own in the room when they've been put to bed, even if the OP gets her connecting rooms?

Would love to be on that flight that puts two 5 years olds and a 3 year old away from their parents!!

But the door will be open and they will be right next to her.

As a mother when my children were that young if one of them woke up then I would automatically wake up as well.

See last post by dickydonkin suggesting they might not get seats with the children.

Alone as in the parents not being in the other room? We never left ours alone when they had been put to bed, if they were in a connecting room/in our room we sat on the terrace with a drink. Other than that they often fell asleep in a lie flat pushchair wherever we were.

If you have to unlock a door to get into the other room does it really matter if it's 50mm or 10 meters away? It's just like having a normal house instead of a 'new-build hutch' if it's in the next resort maybe it's not so good.

Of course it matters, it means one parent must be in the room with the children, which means that as a couple they will have to stay in separate rooms as opposed to being in connecting rooms and leaving the internal connecting door ajar so they can monitor the children.

Especially this bit:

"Hey, your kid will be fine. There's plenty of other people around to help her. I'm sure random folks would love nothing more than to take her to the potty, read her a story, get her that toy, no that other toy, no that other toy, take her for a walk up and down the aisle, sing some songs, go through all the airplane snacks 12 times while they try to find something acceptable to eat, and then sit with the full weight of her bowling-ball head on their arm once she finally falls asleep, drool pooling on their sleeve.

Yup, smart move for the airline, smart move for you, parents! Let's do keep splitting up families like this. I think it's a fine idea. I mean, pay a sit-with-your-kids fee or accept the free childcare? It's a total no-brainer. Thanks, airlines!"
