Airline adds baby seat map to help passengers avoid infants

Now, if only the airlines could have an interactive map for drunk pax who stink like stale smoke......

The problem is the parents who let their children run and kick the front seat, i allways tell parents stop your children now

I would expect this kind of service on Japan Airlines. The comfort of ALL passengers has always been their trade mark.

Well done!
More companies should follow this project

This topic skipped over this article in the linked story. This story, https://6abc.com/pets-animals/horse-gets-aisle-seat-on-plane/5504542/ , is about a miniature HORSE riding in an aisle seat as a "service animal". What the heck is wrong with the airlines coddling to the stupid stunts these people pull? Imagine trying to get out of a burning or smoke-filled jet around a panicked, terrified HORSE? Imagine a flight crew trying to get a HORSE down the evacuation slide and it landing on grandmama! The whole service animal thing has been abused to the point that they should just tell people, "Yeah, you need to drive to where you're going!"

Now, if they can launch a drunk map and an obnoxious adult map, we'd really be getting somewhere.

Great idea but it only works when you book after the baby.

JAL should take it a step further and put all the babies and children in a segregated section of the plane. Let them all make each other miserable and leave the rest of the passengers in peace.

On recent (short.....5+ hours ) rt flights I prayed for an over-18 airline. Both ways we had screaming ( not crying) screaming children across the aisle.....flights longer than 6 hours we fly Business class to avoid the toddlers whose parents are oblivious to the noise being made. Do I hate children? No. I raised six and traveled extensively by plane with them. They knew what was expected of them on a plane.

I'm amazed at all the adults here that were perfect little cry free angels when they were little. Kids cry. Their ears hurt, their in an unfamiliar scary place. There are strangers all around. Get over yourselves. YouTube is full of videos of adults acting much worse.

Never fails to amaze me that babies and small children are enemy number one on planes. I'd much rather sit next to a screaming kid than some vapid twits who spend the flight trimming their nails and doing their makeup, taking off their shoes and rubbing their smelly feet all over anything, threatening to sue the airline and cursing for hours because their food was wrong or they didn't get bumped up to business class, or fall asleep on your shoulder the minute the wheels leave the ground and don't wake up until landing. Give me a map to avoid that.

Better idea would be to have designated seating for passengers with young children and babies. Recently travelled on a plane with a crying baby next to me for most of the four hour flight.

Completely agree. Also, agree with comments by s.s.

Good idea!

This is Fantastic news as I’m traveling on an airplane every few weeks! Thank you! The Airline Gods are listening 🙏🏻👍🏻😁

How about a map for "service" animals?

Applause.

It is awesome guys!! Completely agreed

AirAsia X A330's have a section between business & the back of the plane where children under 12 are not permitted...very nice & a not unreasonable premium on the fare.....About 54 seats in the planes i've been on.

I’m hapoy to see I’m not the only one who’s concerned about seating assignments next to babies. Their discomfort while flying is problematic and can’t always be remedied with a toy, bottle, or pacifier. Ive been a traveler next to, in back of, across from a baby/toddler. It doesn’t always contribute to a comfortable trip. I feel sorry for passengers who must endure it for hours on end, but relieved when it’s not me. So thankful for creation of baby seating maps.

The best thing to do is not allow anyone under the age of 16 on the plane. I would totally pay extra for that

How about being proactive? Can the airlines stock pacifiers on the planes? I saw them offered at 2 for 95 cents? The weight is nothing and the manufacture might give them away if they can put their logo on an item in every plane in the US. Also, many parents swear by this 2 minute YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnWynN_tPTQ on how to quiet a baby. Difficult toddlers are a whole different issue, and often the parents are at fault.

This is great idea especially after just being on an American Airlines flight from PDX to CLT with a screaming child for 4.5 hours. Flight staff could have offered to assist but other than serving sodas etc in the first hour they never came near anyone at all they were in the back just chatting, They could have responded and assisted the mother or offered to help. Just callous and indifferent to the passengers around the child and the Mother. Despite being taken over by US Scare they still are doing nothing about the I'mm too big and don't care attitude. Passengers! who are they to be cared for after all they pay their salary.

The worst examples of the spoilt brats are found in business class. They "squeam and squeam and squeam" until they're sick! Lovely when you or your business class fellows have paid through the nose so we have a chance of sleeping before that important meeting on the other side of the world. All wrecked by one untrained toddler....
