[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

So evidently the seats by the toilet DO serve a useful purpose! There's only a bulkhead--no annoying kids behind you. There's also no recline and you'll probably need a face mask to deal with the stink. Hopefully the flight attendant won't make an issue over the mask.

Below a certain age there's probably nothing that can be done about noisy kids, or even kids who constantly bang the back of your seat. I think, a while back, someone did a post on here about an incident where a Frontier flight attendant intervened over some unruly kids, in-flight, and had the cops waiting on arrival. As much as the parents probably deserved it I don't know what was accomplished.

On "kid-popular" routes (ie: to/from Orlando) this is another reason to consider the virtues of Amtrak.
