Imagine how that kid might have acted for the entire flight? G

Check the trailers. In addition to the68% that sided with the airline,
there are OVER 700 PAGES of comments with only a rare one agreeing
with the parents.

I particularly liked the one from the woman who said she had to make
an emergency trip so stopped at the airport pharmacy, bought a bottle
of Benadril (sp?) and gave her kid a swig before getting on the plane.
Kid was nice and peaceful for the flight. :-))

With our kids, it was peppermint schnapps.

We also used that when they were teething (recommended by our family doctor
at the time, an older fellow in his 70's). Happiest teethers you ever saw
(but didn't hear).
