Flying With Kids
Regarding “Screaming Babies on Board” (Taking the Kids, Dec. 20): Nothing in the U.S. is free. The writer neglected to mention that “Delta’s just-for-kids” frequent-flier club had a sign-up charge. [Editor’s note: The club is no longer accepting new enrollments.]
The best airline to travel with a child? British Airways. When flying LAX to London’s Heathrow or Gatwick airports, there are buggies that can be booked to meet the family so that parents can wheel their kids through the checkout procedure; a professionally run child center in Heathrow; bulkhead seats fitted with a bassinet shelf; and planes equipped with a changing station in the restroom. Best of all, their children’s fares are good until 12 years old!
