First off let it be known that I have never been on a very long plane flight. The longest one was from Adelaide to Sydney and that was 20+ years ago.
Having said that I can not imagine how awful flying for 27 hours straight must be if all aeroplanes are as squishy as the one I took recently to Brisbane. I am so very glad I am not claustaphobic.
I clicked on the reward points for good parenting, simply because; children that run wild piss me off at the best of times let alone if I had had very little sleep and was stuck in an enclosed space for an extended period of time.
I would like to suggest for the benefit of my frequent flyer friends that children under 2 not be allowed to fly any longer than 2 hours. I would say the time should be extended to correspond with their age but that wouldn't really work. If it didn't make me sound like a horrible person I would also stipulate that children needed to be sedated to fly. (or take an over night bus trip)
