My wife and I just finished an 8 hour flight on Continental. Truly , 8 hours of misery. We were booked first class and spent nearly $3000 for the pleasure of having to deal with 8 hours of non-stop screaming from three different couples with their unruly toddlers. It is of course unfair to blame Continental for selling these families tickets in 1 st class.. but shouldn't there be some thought to the dozen or so other people who also bought expensive tickets expecting a pleasant or at least somewhat civilized experience. Should there not be some standing rule of reasonable obligation by the airline to dispatch these children to a more distant part of the plane. Perhaps the cargo hold or maybe fresh air on a wing would be appropriate. Seriously, there really should be some thought to the other passengers in 1st class to not have to put up with this type of behavior, not at these prices. The attendants did their best, but, as well, were quite frustrated with the overwhelming commotion of these uncontrollable kids.. oh well, there you have it . My first and only ever written complaint.
