Totally hear what you say gWaPito. Like I said, personally it doesn't really bother me, not sure why, perhaps it's because planes aren't quiet anyway and a baby is just another noise.

I MIGHT be annoyed if I needed to try sleep on the flight - or I might not. I've had more problems with fellow adults on flights, one arrogant sod in particular who felt the need to elbow me every so often, but that's another story.

I wish I could sleep on planes, I can manage if I get a window seat and sort of stick a blanket over my head, but how do people do it sitting up? Must be a trick to this
