Traveling with kids: where’s the best place to sit?
I have a vivid memory of flying as a child when my siblings and I always sat at the back of the plane. It seemed like that’s where all the kids gathered.

I distinctly recall it being referred to as a matter of social etiquette. Has that idea faded away? Because nowadays, I can hardly find a seat away from all the little ones!

Honestly, my noise-canceling headphones have seen better days!

One thought on “Flying with kids, where do you sit?”

  1. Ah, the classic dilemma of flying with kids! It does seem like a lot has changed over the years. I remember those days too, when families would often choose the back of the plane, possibly to keep the kids contained and quiet (or as quiet as they could be!).

    It feels like these days, parents are spread out all over the cabin, and it’s not as common to see that “family section” at the back anymore. Maybe it’s because airlines have changed their seating policies, or families just have different travel habits now.

    As for your headphones, that’s definitely a tragedy! Have you considered using earplugs or investing in a new pair before your next trip? And when it comes to seating, you might want to check out family-friendly airlines or seats towards the front that allow for quicker boarding and deboarding, which can help with the whole experience. Good luck, and safe travels!
