Nothing new.....

When you travel to India with kids, its is the last place where people show some courtesy and kindness. Airport authorities and immigration are at one end. They are no specific lines at any airports for people traveling with kids. You stand in long lines with them after traveling 20 - 22 hrs. No "pre-boarding" rules apply to any flights going to India, because "all the people have kids and family"(but mostly at home).

I recently traveled with my 3 1/2 yr old and 6 month old baby. The treatment at Indian airports were horrible. We were not allowed to take strollers through London hence we had even more problems standing in lines. After this trip I realized that India still has not improved itself as a tourist destination. When we landed at Dubai airport, we could see the difference. They have special consideration for people traveling with kids, no standing in line at immigration. It gives a welcoming feeling and you leave the place with good memories. We forgot some travel document but still they gave a trasit visa without any problems. India still needs to improve and it should start from the people's attitude to others around them better.
