That's just stupid. Whether a kid behaves or not depends highly on the kid and the parents. Our kids under 6 have flown first class domestic and international business class with zero problems/disturbances.

It was such a good idea... My last trip was fkin ruined by god damn stupid kids screaming, crying and simply distrubing.

Can they also make flights that ban virgin flyers. Those are as annoying as children sometimes.
