    Thank you, @JAL_Official_jp for warnings me about where babies plan to scream and yell during a 13 hour trip. This really ought to be mandatory across the board. Please take note, @qatarairways: I had 3 screaming babies next to me on my JFK-DOH flight two weeks ago.pic.twitter.com/kQYQFIqqCD

        Since this blew up quite a bit: 1/ Adults can be just as bad as babies. 2/ Empathy is important and every situation is different. 3/ Where babies sit can be one of many indicators that help travelers plan flights. Ultimately, there are more important things to worry about.

        Safely in New York. Amazing service as usual by @JAL_Official_jp. Ironically chose to sat next to several babies on my two flights: Some great, some loud. It happens. Some adults were worse. Also, @qatarairways, you’re still one of my favorite airlines. See you all soon!pic.twitter.com/ZkVnfXhp7I – at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK)

        For those hurling hurtful comments at myself and/or others: We all have our own stories and lives. Everyone has different joys and pains. Let’s chat constructively and respectfully instead of out-of-context attacks on Twitter. Wish everyone and their loved ones a wonderful day!

        Thanks @nytimes + @derrickbryson for more context: “I think when people travel a lot, they have quite a few things that they look into,” he said. “Whether it’s aisle seats, they want to know if they’re in the back of the plane, in the front of the plane.”https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/27/travel/japan-airlines-baby-seat-map.html …

        They are babies as we all once were. We need to learn tolerance or will soon start needing a map of seat locations for mouth breathers, droolers, farters, drunks, and perhaps a lot more things in life. What ever happened to life's surprises 😉?

        I’ve been saying for ages we need a 21+ or 18+ only flight. I would gladly pay a fee for such a flight.

        Tarek, I'm assuming you don't have kids. There may be a day you get onto a flight with a child, and that child screams from beginning to end. At that moment you will realize the stress a parent goes through in that situation. Can I suggest #noisecancellingheadphones
