Just thought I'd say that this is a brilliant idea & I was actually wrote to Air New Zealand airline about incorporating a couple of rows of larger seats onto their planes. My reason being that I found it incredibly difficult to breastfeed in the normal size chairs & there was no other area designated to do it. Plus I don't think the elderly man seated next to me appreciated having my (well covered) breast so close. Maybe if we continue to write something might be done & I do not believe discriminating against people is the answer. Kirstie Australia http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/c/calenpm
