We were unlucky enough to be stuck on the Tarmac at Perth airport for over 5 hours last month when all Qantas flights were grounded due to bad weather. This was after a 4.5 hr flight from Melbourne.
My kids are aged 8 and 4 and their behavior was unbelievable, not once did they annoy anyone else, they sat in their seats the entire time and only complained a couple of times about being hungry, When we were finally allowed to leave the plane a lady actually praised both my kids and my 7 yr old niece for their behaviour after an almost 10 hour trip.
Give kids a break, for one they are more than likely excited about their holiday to Bali, and therefore are a little but more amped than usual, and second, THEY'RE KIDS!!!!!! Geez I really hope none of you grumpy old farts are near us on the plane to Bali next month, I'll be too scared to even let my kids speak!
