Kid/drunk section on planes?

How about a section just for people who want to play Twister?
Actually, I've always thought it would be a great idea to have some sort of exercise section on long-haul flights. I'm sure you could use a recumbent bike or rower with some sort of safety belt, right? And it'd prevent DVT!0 -

Sorry, can't find that stuff for infants without a script.... My husband tried.
Oh and as far as the kid kicking the back of the seat... blame the parents, not the kid... if it had been my kid that just would not fly (no pun intended) with me because it is rude...0 -
We don't want to hear your crying, screaming kid (acceptance for altitude changes) or deal with the drunk who won't shut up or is overly friendly.
Who is "we"?0 -
Adults have the capability to behave in a socially acceptable way in public, and hopefully parents are training their children to behave that way, too. If you see that the parent is trying their best, mind your own business. They have as much right to be on the plane as anyone else. If their children are kicking your seat, it's not rude for you to turn around and ask them to stop, it's rude for parents to allow it. I'd personally love a kid friendly zone with a little more room so they're not stuck on a seat for hours. Yay leg room! But what if the plane is sold out of one area, should someone be denied access to that flight?0

Sometimes, it's best to just relax:
A man from Idaho, Joe Rickey Hundley, an executive with an aerospace company, recently had a very bad flight, which has subsequently turned into a very bad life for Mr Hundley:Al Haase, the president and CEO of Aerospace and Defense, Composite Group, released a statement Sunday saying the actions of "the employee" were "embarrassing" and "contradictory to our values." From his statement:
“Reports of the recent behavior of one of our business unit executives while on personal travel are offensive and disturbing. We have taken this matter very seriously and worked diligently to examine it since learning of the matter on Friday afternoon. As of Sunday, the executive is no longer employed with the company."
Hundley, 60, was charged with simple assault of a child younger than 16, an offense that carries a maximum sentence of a year in jail.
Hundley was seated next to Jessica Bennett, 33, and her 19-month-old son. As the Delta plane, inbound to Atlanta from Minneapolis, began to descend the altitude change apparently hurt the child's ears and he began to cry.
Fellow passengers told CNN that as Bennett tried to calm her child, Hundley told her to "shut that [racial slur] baby up," then slapped the boy with an open hand across the face, scratching him beneath the eye.
Hundley appeared intoxicated during the flight and became increasingly obnoxious, complaining that her son was too big to sit on her lap, she said.
"He reeked of alcohol," Bennett told KARE-TV. "He was belligerent, and I was uncomfortable."

ETA: I cannot WAIT for the day *you* have a child on an airplane, and everyone is shooting you death stares because you can't calm them down. Can't. ****ing. Wait.
Try having an autistic child. I guess some people think he shouldn't be allowed to travel!0 -
Which is exactly why I have to be drunk, or somehow sedated, to be on that plane. So boo to you OP, if I'm too happy on the flight; at least I'm not vomiting in the aisles or clawing at the windows hallucinating monsters eating the wings.
Look, that happened to me exactly ONE time...ok two times...OK OK two hundred and thirty six times. It's not that uncommon is it?0 -
Tix just went up $100?? Whaaat?0

I think I just solved the kid part of the problem. You don't need a separate section. The airline can just supply rags and chloroform for parents to use on their babies.0
