[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ignore the PP. I fly international business class for work all the time. [b]This will not annoy most people in that cabin.[/b] There are noise canceling headphones and in many cabins doors to the individual seats. We keep to ourselves, and if there is infant noise, it’s never on top of anyone else.[/quote]

I also got business class overseas for work often. I am also the mother of teens now.  I disagree with the bolded. Most people won’t say anything but I personally don’t like babies when trying to sleep.   I would never ever tell a parent this to their face in a cabin. They are entitled to bring their babies on board. And I will do what I can to support the parent.  Like offer to play patty cake or something if it looks like the parent is losing his/her cool or patience.  But, yes it does bug me.

I do think the best thing to do is to buy two seats in coach.  But if you want to go business, that is your choice. Good luck. All of us parents have stories of that hellacious flight where the baby had an ear infection of the two year just melted down. You will get through this. [/quote]

I'm with you. OP has a right to be in business class, but I don't know what OP is looking for here. I guess OP wants people to say what some of the pps have, but the truth is that people will be annoyed with her if her baby is screaming all night while they're trying to sleep. Noise cancelling headphones don't block it out completely. Ask me now I know. I doubt that anyone will say anything, but they'll secretly hate you.  On the other hand, you're never going to see them again. You know your baby & probably have a good idea of whether the kid is going to be a good traveler or not.  If you know it's going to be bad, and decide to go anyway, you need to just suck it up and understand that you're "that person" for the duration of the flight.  I don't know why we need to make OP feel good about it.  [/quote]
