[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this is not what you want to hear, but take it from a single mom: the people around you paid a LOT of money (or points) to have space and QUIET in business class. Please do not bring your baby, who may sleep like a champ or may cry inconsolably and uncontrollably for hours, into business class on an international flight.

Before I became a mom, I used to travel halfway around the world all the time for work and we flew business class. Comfort plus total peace and quiet. This summer I took my kids, who are older now, to Italy, and a family with young kids (maybe 5-8YO?) were in business class and the kids had piles of toys/activities. I thought that was fine because the kids were big enough to behave properly.

Granted, I have traveled with an infant, and even with an infant and toddler only across the country but never overseas, so you can say I do not know what I am talking about. And of course, you are paying for your seat, too.

Your question specifically was about etiquette. You already know to say, "I am so sorry my baby is screaming," but do you really think that's enough?[/quote]

Mom here who pre-Covid pretty much only travelled business class and it's FINE. Ignore this PP. You pay for the seat, you and the baby are allowed to sit there. For the most part, crying babies are drowned out by ambient noise anyway, and if someone is in business class, it means they travel A LOT and have seen and heard anything. Plus, we have noise canceling headphones and for the most part, have a routine on the airplane and a crying baby won't bother us. I put in headphones and sleep in the mornings and in the evenings, I usually watch a movie. You'll be fine, and will be SO MUCH more comfortable. Wish you all the best!

p.s. if you don't want to do business class, make sure you pay extra for a bulkhead seat with bassinet. It's amazing.[/quote]
