There should be an area on the plan for all the families with babies. I'm not sure if this would be a plausible idea and I've just now thought of it; so if it's stupid, I'll know it in a minute or two.

All streaks have to end

That's why Ipods were created

Headphones. I can't recommend them strongly enough. Plus, for longer flights, a portable rechargeable battery for charging up your iPod.

It's like the stars aligned, opening a portal to a realm of wailing, tiny pink imps.

There should be a separate wing for people with babies. Idk, I think it's a good idea

just damn. that really sucks

Was it all the same baby?

The flight actually turned out pretty well, it was an overnight flight and the mother of one of the babies, after about 2-3 hours has said "I can't take this anymore" and offered everyone around some medicine and ear plugs to help us just get to sleep to ignore it, but I have this issue of not being able to sleep on planes. So I kept looking over and I could see the babies crying, but I could not hear them. The plane was overbooked, so I could not change seats. I mean, it was an overnight flight in the summer to London. It's pretty difficult to get a flight with empty seats like that. I had a wonderful trip and my flight home was one of the best I had ever had.

I feel bad for everybody in this story. I bet the parents much have felt pretty embarressed, but babies can't help crying. It's so difficult traveling with a small child..
