Now THATS service.

Very impressive from CX.

Interesting on my flight today MNL-HKG on a CX 747-400 Business, upstairs

Dad, mum, a 3 year old girl & a 2 year old boy.

In the olden days the children would be placed in the seats directly next to the each parent

But with CX flat bed layout, necessary to put the child on one side of the cabin, and the parent on the other side, so he/she can see the kid during take-off landing etc.

So effectively the 2 children are on their own. During take-off not a problem.

But on landing the boy had found the chair controls, as well as the Call Button, so as we are coming into land and actually landing, the boy is having great fun pressing all the buttons, etc, and the mum could only say stop, could not move to actually stop him.

Fun

We flew to Fiji a few years ago on Air Pacific, and managed to get the economy seats on the upper deck. Another family came up the stairs after us, the mother and father not too impressed at how the cabin looked, and the young boy said to his mum "oh, wow! flying economy is great, we should try is again some time!"

Similarly, flying to LAX many many many years ago, we were sitting near an American family, whose children were simply going mental. The flight attendant came over to the mother and asked, very politely i must say, "could you please look after you children? we're about to take off", and the mother shot death glares at the woman and snapped "isn't that your job". You can imagine the flight attendant's reply...
