I posted about this in another thread on business class versus coach, but I will say that I heartily disagree with this. Of course, common sense applies.. do not let your kid scream non-stop for hours on end, and do everything you can to make the trip comfortable to others. But heck, I pay for those seats just like everyone else up there does, and quite frankly, I do not buy the "no babies except in coach" thing. Not a bit. We flew business class on both adoptions (2nd trips, so we had our kids), and while I tried our best to keep our kiddos quiet, the supreme comfort and transquility of my seatmates was not my FIRST priority. We did get a few rude stares when we showed up in business class with a baby, but, again, we paid to be there just as they did.
So there
Just my 2 cents. As I stated in the other post/ thread, I am VERY sensitive to the plight of my fellow travellers, and even when we fly coach, I do everything in my power to keep my kids quiet and respectful. But I did not do anything in business class that I would not have done in coach.
