I'd love to be able to afford to go on a plane!

Meh. It's just a very expensive bus with wings.

Yes it is, but only when you don't have to pay for the flight, otherwise it is an utter waste of money imhuo. For way less than the cost of a Business Class ticket you can get some pretty sweet noise cancelling headphones that will make the trip anywhere a lot less painful.

I think for Hach Bee the lesson to be learned here is to get properly rested and hydrated before flying. Or charter a private jet.

I work nights, not worth messing with my already dodgy sleep schedule to be out of whack at work. It wasn't from a hangover!!!
I do have a mate who's a pilot though, hmmm.....

Tough titties mate. I am a parent & one of my kids went nuts a few months back on flight. It was only when we were landing, I'm guessing his ears weren't popping. I won't forget that moment in a hurry......If it was a grown adult, pretty sure he would've got tazered.
One day when you have kids, you'll think back to the day that kid was going spacko on the plane and think fuck, it was so much better hearing someone else's kid screaming.....ha ha, good times.
Love this bit!!!! You are so ready to have kids now!

Again, it's my biased no-children-mind that agrees with you!
At least yours was only when you were landing- that I would understand, ears and what not. But this went on the ENTIRE trip (minus the aforementioned half hour) constant. Surprised the kid didn't pass out from exhaustion. Once more, not a parent, but most parents I know don't let/have ways of diffusing tantrums before they reach the two hour mark.
Let me reiterate also, I have no desire to have kids- dogs are much easier to train!
Sleeping pills and I don't mix, I tend not to wake up!

Good rant. How did it go? I hate the "inspiring" quotes people put up if it's so fucking inspiring why do you never fucking anything.
I'm hearing you. I avoid the displeasure of other people's company on flights by using my Ipod. Problem solved! It is only ten minutes either end of the flight that I may get a little bugged when I have to turn it off. As for the recliner in front of me? It doesn't happen, you get told straight up if you recline on me. I'll gladly go the knuckle with you on the flight if you choose to keep that recliner in place you rude beetlehead.

Haha fuck yes.
I understand how young kids can't take the pressure difference and I'm fine with that, but there is a difference between a screaming baby and a 4 year old that is acting like a little shit for the sake of it. On a flight to KL once there was a kid that started screaming soon after departure from Brisbane and didn't let up until we got to KL. I kept thinking sooner or later she is going to tire herself out and fall asleep but not this time. An eight hour tantrum. I had earplugs plus noise cancelling headphones so I didn't notice it too much. My wife was going beserk. The guy sitting in the row in front almost got violent when we landed hehe.
A few years ago on the flight to Perth, a derro woman started changing her toddler's shit smeared nappy on the seat next to her (which was the middle seat). The woman sitting on the aisle seat objected big time. More people joined in by the time the flight attendants came to see what the fuss was about.
Seriously? You'd start a fight on the plane over someone having their seat back? Are sure you're on a plane and not still 8 years old and riding the school bus?
Having put 75,000 miles on my frequent flyer card this year I've spent a fair bit of time getting on planes overtired and in desperate need of a few hours sleep. If you don't fit in a normal seat and were too tight to spring the $30 for an economy comfort seat you can put your own seat back and deal with it.
Steal my overhead locker space for you ridiculous second "personal item" and I'm standing annoyingly in the aisle so you can't get it until they let me off the plane, however.

I will be taking my 4 month old from Newcastle to Brisbane in 2 weeks. I hope she handles it ok, as I do not handle it very well when I feel like I'm annoying people, it stresses me out. At least it's only an hour.
Side note:
I thought reclining the seat only affected the top part, not the part that your legs take up? Anyway, I always recline. It's there, it makes me feel more comfortable, everybody does it to me, and if everybody reclines, we all have the same net space as if we all didn't.

Damn straight I get the shits over it. I see no difference in you putting your seat back on top of a person you don't know and you leaning on the person sitting next to you that you don't know. Get the fuck out of my space, I didn't pay to have my room reduced once the plane has leveled out.
In saying that, I would never consider laying my seat back knowing that it inconveniences the dude behind me. Business class maybe but that is a different paddock and not a mere $30 on top of the cattle class seat.
