Taking a trip next month with the family and I'm debating on whether or not to fly first class, as I'm traveling with a 22 month old. It will be a 1 hour flight, connect, then a 4 hour flight. I've never flown with a child before and am worried about what the other people will think. Part of me thinks, fuck it, if he's pissed better for me to be comfortable than not, but part of me thinks it would be a dick move to ruin someone's flight that paid for a first class ticket. Thanks.

Don't be an asshole, leave the kid at home. Nobody wants to hear a crying baby on a 4 hour flight.

x2. Do not bring a baby into a first class cabin! >:(

you can't help a crying baby on the airplane. Some others will be understanding of that, but others will just get aggravated
If somebody is paying for first class, they're expecting to be pampered. A crying baby is probably not included in this vision.
Just get business or economy
-
No matter where you sit its going to be the same
-
Kids almost two so should not be a big deal unless he takes tantrums. Give him a little Benadryl and he should be fine.
-
I wouldn't recommend it.
It can be a nightmare travelling with kids that age and 4 hours on a plane.. Jeez forget about it

I see what you did there. ;D

No getting away from it, he's going with us. Just a matter of whether or not I want to Piss off the first class cabin or economy. He's usually pretty good, not many tantrums or anything. I've never flown with him before, so I'll probably go the benadryl route. Was hoping jephrius would chime in on this, as he is a frequent flyer of first class.
-
it's even worse in coah as you're so much more crowded with the others.
Would rather have a crying baby next to me than some 400lbs fat ass...

Well first classers then. Fuck them!

Bring your kid on first class. Screw the people in first class. They have no superior rights over anyone else. Give me a whole break with the stupid shit, "They paid extra to be pampered, so they should not have to deal with a screaming baby/kid." They shouldn't have paid for a first class ticket. They should have played it safe and paid for a coach ticket, in case its a shitty flight. Every person, adult or child, has a right to fly in coach or first class. If the people in first class dont like it, tough.

Here's something I would recommend you ask your Pediatrician about.....Benadryl.
First generation anti-histamines, while typically used for allergies in older kiddies and adults, can technically be given to infants as well. They can generally provide them with a nice 3-4 hours of sleep. I wouldn't recommend you do this on a daily basis or even develop a pattern of any sort, but for a flight, it comes in very handy.
There are charts you can use online to determine the exact dose to give (the dosage is usually 1 mg/kg).
If you consider using it, PLEASE GIVE YOUR PEDIATRICIAN A CALL FIRST AND ASK. I am pretty certain that it can be given to a 22 month old (dosage based on weight), but call your doc first and run it by him/her to get the final green light.

If the airline didn't want young children in first class they would make a rule against it. Knock yourself out, and knock the kid out, as has been suggested. Four hours is a long time to expect a kid that age to sit around quietly and be well behaved.

I suggested it because I tested it. It was a long time ago but there was a dosing schedule even for infants.

Good call. I was gonna suggest a half tab of Gravol. Knock that kid out. Everybody wins.

Sorry Walter, I didn't even notice you suggested it up above.
I suggested it, because I've seen it used by family on their children.

Reminds me when my ex and I decided try this new restaurant and they allowed the couple to use the table right near us to change their baby.
Real classy, really had us there enjoying the moment...

Buy yourself a first class ticket. Leave wife and kid in coach. Why has no one said this yet?

That is just too clear, simple and obvious. And tell them you don't wanna be disturbed during your lobster dinner...

x2 the larger issue with commercial flight is not children but what to do about the fats.
Ticket price should scale with bodyweight imho.

Own section with extra large seats and all you can eat buffet.
At a premium price.

I used to fly first class a LOT... both domestic and international. The service and the amenities are nothing like they were 10 years ago. Unless you are flying in Europe or across an ocean, it's not worth it. If you are flying in the US, all you'll get is a larger seat, free booze and a free meal (only flights that are over 2-3 hours long). Airlines have tighten their belts and are nickel and diming you for EVERYTHING now. Glad I don't have to fly anymore... it's pure torture.
There is really no way to tell if your baby will cry during the flight. Some kids sleep the whole flight, others cry the entire time. Airlines are much more tolerant of things today. People are allowed to bring animals with them on the flight, as long as they claim their animal is a "service" animal. It's total bullshit! The last flight I took was a coast to coast US Air nonstop flight in first. The lady next to me had a small dog with her (no carrier). The dog was licking the water from my glass and trying to eat the food off my plate. I think it farted a few times too.

I've only recently had the financial chutzpah to fly 1st class occasionally and to be honest I've been underwhelmed. The extra space is nice and you're less likely to sit beside a disgusting miscreant but I'm not sure if that's worth paying double the price or more.
-
I fly coach. Maybe you'll get to meet me if you fly coach. All flight long, there I'll be. Right along side you.
-
I would expect a child to cry at the same time our ears pop during the ascent and descent. While it's a little uncomfortable for adults, it's incredibly painful for a child.
-
The underdeveloped eustachian tube is the culprit. In traditional Chinese medicine a chopstick is gently inserted into the child's ear to a depth of 4 yang. That's about 8 inches.
In the early 1900s they used to place children in a bathysphere and tow them behind ocean liners. No changes in air pressure meant no crying. Is the toddler still small enough to fit in a pressure cooker? You could hold it on your lap for safekeeping or just check it in (don't include the plug tho, just in case).

If he cries, he cries.

This whole vacation idea is sounding pretty half baked.
-
My aunt always flew first class (it was called red carpet back in the day) with all six of my cousins. They were little hellions too.
I don't much care for crying babies. Fortunately, I've not experienced fussy kids when I fly for some reason. Coming home from Germany last summer on the long leg of the flight, which is about 8 hours, there was a couple who carried their child up and down the aisle rocking the baby to keep it quiet. I appreciated their consideration of others trying to sleep.

Parents do that for themselves too. It's not nice for anyone to hear a siren whale when you just want to relax and never get any sleep.

Took my baby (when she was about 6 through 8 months) plenty of times on the plane, and twice on first class for a five hour flight (best money I've ever spent), luckily so far my girl had been a great flyer... Even on one red eye she didn't make a peep.
Most important thing is to be prepared have everything you need and plenty of distractions for your kid. Keep calm and cool... That will also help your kid keep calm and cool.
And no its not a dick move, you paid for the first class tickets just like anyone else in that cabin. If someone complains tell them to move their ass back with the cattle if they're not happy. You're bringing another human being with you not some wild animal.
PS. The one trip I didn't put my girl in a onesie, and in sweat pants instead, she took a shit as she was sleeping on me, then somehow it migrated up her diaper, out of her pants and all over my hands... Passengers next to me got up as quick as possible when I needed to make a run with her to the bathroom

Hahahaha. Is that true? The chopstick thing?
This makes a lot of sense actually as Princess alluded to
-
....it's only 4 hours, I'm sure they can handle it.
Anyway, who cares what they think.

Caring more about random assholes on a plane than about your baby ::)

Best way to get a screaming kid to shut up is when a stranger walk up to him/her and make the kid confused! A new strange face! U only need to say Hey, whats wrong with you! And the kid will just stare at u forgot all the problems!
-
Why should the baby have to deal with the people in first class? Furthermore, did the baby want to go on the trip? Does the baby like flying? Screw you adults, a baby shouldn't have to put up with your wants and desires.

We have donemultiplelondon to sri lanka flights. You give them milk on take off and landing to equalise the ears otherwise they will scream. Take an ipad and get them tired before the flight. Last timefrom dubai we put blankets on the floor between the seats and the bulkhead and let our son play on the floor. That was a 7hr flight.
