anyway their was a 5 month old on the flight as well, and they didn't have one either, despite family also booking one!
We where split up "for safety reasons!" never quite got to the bottom of that one? and with twins you can't even take it in turns to swap arms.
fortunately for us, but unfortunately for them, me and hubby got seated, on different rows, next to a Muslim family on their way to a funeral (he got the 18 year old girls, I got the sisters of the deceased) turned out there were about 30+ of them on their way to Vancouver on the flight.
The man who had died was in his 40's and also had twin boys aged 10, the family, bless them took the boys of our hands, when they where awake, up and down the plane, it was wonderful, when we arrived in Calgary, the family thanked us! as they said they thought it was going to be a terrible journey, but our boys had brightened it for them, and they felt it was a good omen that they where next to us.
the trip back a American woman, had a dispute with the stewards and next thing we know, we as a family are together, they move the SA couple next to me into business class, she came up later and explained she had 5 yr old twin girls, and saw we where in different rows, so told the stewards to move people!
practical note, def, fed them on take off and landing, the tables even without the lilo idea, works.
stick pins in your baby in the check in line, Joke! both of mine screamed their heads off, at check in and we got to the front of the line, even thought it didn't help our seat allocation! have a lovely time
