                                 -
If anyone has flown long distances with an infant, I would  greatly
appreciate  hearing  either success or horror stories; perhaps such
experiences would be educational.

We will be flying a 747 from Newark to Brussels,  leaving  8:00  PM
and  arriving  about  9:00 AM, with our 6 month old baby girl.  The
craft will be configured single class (People  Express),  with  all
seats  probably  taken:  seat  space has not been purchased for the
baby.  Both parents were hoping to get some sleep on the way over.

If there is a vacant seat available, is  there  any  nifty  way  of
securing  the baby in it while she sleeps?  If there is no seat for
her, is there a way of attaching mother to child so both can sleep?
Perhaps a commercially available harness of some kind?

Maybe someone knows of an organization to go to  for  advice?   The
reservation/information clerks have made no positive suggestions.

Many thanks, in advance!!
