And finally.....good luck!

Nah, you will be fine....Its only if you travel alone with more than 1 infant under 2. This should be noted at time of booking anyway.

Im flying with them in a couple of weeks, they are pretty shocking. We tried to buy the upgrade seats for the extra baggage allowance. We were told we had to ring Canada to do this. We rang them and they finally answered and we told they couldnt do it from there we had to ring London office *sigh* but there were seats available. We rang London, put on hold and told there were no seats available.

Also took 4 emails to get a reply about their excess baggage cargo thingy.

Had a kid upfront in J on my recent overnight flight to FRA. Sound asleep when the little brat started screaming, woke up the whole cabin - except for the father who was clearly used to it. Happened a couple more times. I'm totally with Oink on this one. If they can't sleep don't fly them.

Not sure I would want to sit near you for 10 hours either really.

To those who took the time to answer the OP I am truly grateful. To those that just had to have yet another dig, thanks for nothing. You could see the OP was a little stressed and worried, was there really any need to have a pop and then wonder why she flipped. Joking and banter is one thing, but just having a dig, and trying to pass it off as humour is something else entirely.

Come on peeps, please. We can do better than that. It bothers me when I see people feel they have to leave the forum because of smark alec responses like some of the ones in this thread.

Have a banter by all means, but try and do it with members you know, not the ones you don't who are asking serious questions.

Sigh
