Please don't fly with your kids, especially babies, and if you do, please for the love of all that might be holy, don't do it in business and first class!

don't do it in business and first class!

Lol. If you're wasting those sums of money to fly, I hope you do get noisy kids right next to you.

Here are some reasons for business class and first class:

  • Certainly treated better by staff when flights are delayed or cancelled - They took excellent care of my wife and her food and lodging needs when her flight was disrupted by a volcanic eruption at her intended destination.
  • The airline lounge - food, drinks and comfortable places to wait while stuck at airports
  • More and heavier checked bag allowance - Super important if bringing things to family
  • Laying down on long international flights to sleep
  • Most importantly, if you are a person of colour or disabled, the staff treat you a hell of a lot better - Shouldn't have to pay more to be treated like a human being, but on a lot of airlines, you do

So it's not a waste, especially when my wife is flying alone 7600km, 10,500km, and even 11,700km as both a person of colour and a disabled person to deal with family tragedies. For you to want to screw with people for that... Yeah, don't care for you.

Thanks for explaining to everybody why you deserve to be treated better than everyone else because you have more money.

I don't. Paycheck to paycheck. Learn to use the tools of airline mile programs, credit cards with points, and airline mileage affiliate programs. Use your brain, not your money.

K I did all that and decided with my brain I'm gonna bring my kid too and I don't give a shit if the rich assholes in first class complain even if they insist they're "paycheck to paycheck" after airing a list of grievances about how they hate having to interact with plebs on an airplane.

I mean seriously you said in another post rich people own planes. If everybody who doesnt own a plane isn't rich I'm gonna go ahead and say you're completely out of touch.
