It’s better that you don’t notice the Imam’s, either, because there is an on-board entertainment fee, like the fee for the headphones to watch the remake of Earnest Goes To Camp. And fresh halal goat meat isn’t a bargain, even if it is duty free.
LOL! We used to have a guy living next door who was a Palestinian Arab from Jerusalem. He got hallal lamb and goat from a farm in South Carolina. Great barbecues at their place!
Last time I saw a movie on a flight (Amsterdam to Orlando, loaded with Euros going to Disney World, speaking of raucous children), it was “Moulin Rouge!” dubbed into French with Dutch subtitles. It was still awful, even through the Dramamine haze in two languages I barely understand.
If that person consumed Squantos’ chili, I suspect the farter also singed the seat. ;-)
Why not first class AND business class? No kids in business class, it’s kind of clear what class business class is for.
You fly with Eaker ?
Flying would be a lot more tolerable if parents knew how to be parents and taught kids to be civil. Screaming babies can’t help themselves but the little booger pickers who mouth off because they know their parents won’t touch them and want to be friends with them are the problem.
Hey I am all for including the ability to keep fat gassy adults out of first class as well. Or at least have an airtight section for them. I also am for being able to fly without having people bother you wanting to talk to you when you don’t really feel like it.
Why do you hold it against people that aren’t related to you not wanting to endure a screaming baby if they don’t want to by paying extra for it to be in a section of the plane that is baby or kicking-seat-child free?
I agree. Flying bothers their ears and it is a miserable experience for the little ones all around.
I *still* hear the story about how my parents took me on a plane from Florida to Virginia to meet my grandparents when I was three months old and I pretty much fussed and hollered the whole way. I'm sure I made that flight hell for a lot of people. (In economy class, BTW. ;-))
But I've been paid back for that in full. LOL
God bless you dear...amen
Too many whining sour pusses here either childless or too old and crabby for knocking boots
I love kids and babies and the women who responsibly make them babies..hot dog!

Those people were already scheduled for surgery...weren’t my fault....:o)
