Toddlers and flying and bulkhead seat requests
I know you can ring/email airlines to request bulkhead seats if you have a baby, but can you also do it if you have a toddler? Our son will be nearly 3 when we fly.

We flew with Quantas and BA with our 2 year old and couldnt get extra legroom seats, but if you get to checkin early and theres any available you could grab them then.
We ended up with regular seats but found we had loads of room as our 2 kids had their own seats but sat together on one, so plenty of room for their toys etc. Flying from Hawaii to Melbourne the plane was half empty so at checkin they made sure we had two clear rows which was great
So, not sure about other airlines, but usually I think you can try and put a request in but still need to get to check in desk early.

Incidentally Maxpaxx am I remembering rightly that your other half is called Ed?

Our daughter was able to make use of the skycots as well (although it was a bit of a squash!) The only downside is that you have to get them out of the cot everytime the seatbelt light goes on. We had a bit of turbulence on both flights and kept having to wake her up to get her back on my lap to be strapped in again!

Excellent. As well as the toddler my husband is over 6 foot and I am close to it, so we will be happy to have the extra leg room.

We travelled with a 20 month old toddler and a 3 year old last October, and rang Singapore Airlines in advance to request bulkhead seats. They gave them to us on both flights (London to Singapore, and Singapore on to Brisbane). It's a great help if you can get them, because the kids have room to play on the floor with their toys etc and not get in anyone's way!

Sorry to be a bit lazy and not look for myself but have you got the number for Singapore handy.
Many Thanks

I only asked as my husband is also called Ed. He is an Edwin. He has only come across about three or four other Edwins and I just wondered if your man was one. Does he also get the Mr Ed (horse) jokes - with people thinking they are really clever and that he (Ed) will never have heard them before?
