it is ridiculous when the £30 each way to fly a baby is higher than the fare for a seat.

Ridiculous in what way? You don't understand airline pricing if you think the cost of a product should be directly proportional to the actual cost incurred by the airline. Try buying a last minute ticket on Ryanair and the price will be much much higher than the infant fee.

Don't fly and give all the other passengers a peaceful flight rather than being forced to listen to your baby scream the fuselage down for any of the myriad reasons. That'll save you loads of money.

For your information, a passenger aircraft is generally a public means of transport and I suspect that:

1) You don't have children

2) Even you cried on a means of public transport when you were a baby.

and 3) Many may suggest that they would rather sit in the vicinity of a child rather than a fellow passenger like yourself.

As stated many times on these boards, if you don't wish to be 'forced' to listen to crying children, I would suggest you lease a private jet.......that'll cost you lots of money!

It might surprise you to hear this, but not all babies are on constant scream mode for 24hrs per day.

My kids have flown some 200 times and I have never, ever received a complaint off a fellow passenger anywhere in the world.

I bet your the type of person that thinks flying was invented solely for your purpose, the type of person who walks into an airport with a real obnoxiousness about them, that walks right to the front of the queue, that needs telling personally to put their seat up right prior to take off, or window blind up for landing. Then the second you land update your facebook about how you've just flown to Benidorm, Probably on twitter too.

I noticed this phenomenon on the flights I've taken this year.

Some 80% of the passengers doing exactly this.

I'm too tight to pay for data overseas, so don't do it.

But we have become a rather strange society.

It'll only get worse.

Your UK allowance is beginning to be ok to used abroad.

I'm on 3 and i've been able to use the internet for free in the USA and Italy so far this year. there are more countries already available and more coming onboard.

In a way I almost agree with you. I would advocate children banned flights where people who wish to enjoy a peaceful trip and not listen to a helpless baby suffer its ears popping can book onto.

Then people like yourself can all sit with each other on the child friendly flights and enjoy the noise of each other's babies suffering.

In your opinion. Many younger people see social media as the norm hence the freeing up of overseas data by regulators.

I'm 35 and whilst I don't update to the extent I was accused of by Mr Wang and his list of poorly worded accusations, I see nothing unusual or strange when others do it.

Thanks for lecturing the bloke with 18,000+ posts on an internet forum about the joys of social media.

Erm, you're welcome?

What exactly is your problem with me correcting you posting your opinion as a fact?

I think I know the answer, you didn't like it.
