And don't forget stinky business women who don't brush their teeth properly.

I've never come across one personally. It's always men who seem to lack in the personal hygiene stakes.

In business/first, you're not sitting close enough for it to be a bother though.

Buy some strong brown paper and strong sellotape and parcel the baby up and send it on ahead!! Alternatively, pack it into a large suitcase and send it with the other luggage. Simples!!




To anyone with a sense of humour bypass, this is a JOKE ! :-)

Oh, believe me, it's my idea of hell. But if the only way I'm going to get to see Old Havana/Bay of Pigs is to spend 5 nights at a resort where my daughter will enjoy herself, that's what I'm going to have to do. 9 nights 'real Cuba' plus 5 nights cultureless resort I can handle.

We just need to get to Cuba for a holiday soon before it is ruined by tourism?

I said nothing of tourism. I said that once Caatro dies it will just become an American enclave. Hence spending 12 days in Old Havana/Bay of Pigs. There are no Starbucks or McDonalds there now. Soon as Castro dies the whole island will be overrun with them and everything unique will be gone. We're having to COMPROMISE our normal kind of holiday because of the need to go soon and DD being the age she is.


I don't actually have to justify my choices or decisions to you.

So heres a question. seriously what do you do if

(a) the kids (or adult) behind you continuously kick you chair
(b) the person infront of you reclines their chair so much its very uncomfortable.

Maybe abit of bubble wrap? Just to give it abit of extra protection. :rotfl:

Can't believe this thread has made it to 20 pages! Or is that fairly normally for a heated debate on MSE?

Its becuase the PC brigrade are getting defensive about kids, and they wont let it lye.

The last adult who did that to me (it was in the pictures not on a flight) got one warning to stop. He chose not to, and I retaliated - he was quiet after that. I am aware that you would not get away with htat on a flight. The seat leaning too far back - I have had, I ask nicely, then I lean my elbows on it, or shoogle it with my knees till they get fed up.
