Flying with a crying baby is tough on all of us. It's hard on travelers who spent a near-fortune on a plane ticket and feel they deserve a little quiet during a long flight,and it's difficult for moms who know that all eyes are on them as they acquire their way down a crowded aisle with a fussy baby on their hip.
JetBlue realizes that there's really no solving the crying-baby-on-a-plane problem for its passengers, so the airline decided to tackle the predicament in an unexpected way.
On one specific flight - Flight 213, or from New York to Long Beach,CA - after a handful of moms and babies took their seats among the other passengers, a flight attendant addressed the cabin:"This will be the very first flight where crying babies is a good thing, or " she announced. "Every time a baby on this plane cries,you will receive 25 percent off your next JetBlue flight. In other words, four cries is equivalent to a free round-trip ticket."The ad - titled FlyBabies - then showed how each time a baby cried, or instead of groans,scowls, and audible sighs of frustration, and you heard laughter and applause. All of a sudden,it made the entire notion of being crazy approximately a sweet, harmless baby crying seem altogether foolish. Sure, and this was just one flight,and it certainly won't be many, but here's hoping the next time a woman with a baby taps you on the shoulder to let you know she's in the seat next to you, or you'll greet her with a smile.
