Babies on a plane: Japan Airlines unveils tool to tackle horror of screaming infants

Being stuck on a long-haul flight within earshot of a crying baby could be a thing of the past for passengers on Japan Airlines , after the carrier unveiled an online booking tool that indicates where toddlers will be seated.

Check out this podcast Woman Says New Airline Option To Not Sit Next To A Child Is 'Insulting' by 98FM's Dublin Talks on GoLoud.

Japan airlines got it right. A 10+ hour flight often isn't just the flight time. My closest airport is 4h away, which means I have to be there 2h before the flight, therefore leave at least 6 to 7h and often wake up at least 2h before that plus the commute to my destination...

Just a thought, doesn't this also show paedophiles how to pick seats next to kids?

'Horror'? News flash: babies are human beings Utterly preposterous and vile headline. Pop some bleeding ear plugs in and stop whining

Could have done with that on flight back from Fiji last night

Cargo hold? 😂

Next to snakes on a plane...

What would Colonel Kurtz said of that horror

In 30 years I've caught hundreds of domestic and long distance flights. There has never been the much discussed non stop screaming baby or child. The occasional infant crying on take off but that's about it. Is this something people worry about more than actually experience?

Horror? Could we just be more accepting?

I'd rather fly with a plane full of crying babies than someone who makes a big deal out of a crying baby

If they could only flag the assholes as well with an icon

Wow that’s good news! God have too many baby crying travels!

Horror? Screaming? You mean annoyance and crying

Headphones?
