Plane restroom the best place to change a diaper

Q: I recently flew first class from Orlando, Fla., to Los Angeles. There was a couple with a little girl, maybe 2 years old, and the kid screeched the whole time. ... I could have ignored the screeching, but when they changed her diaper, the whole first class filled with an unpleasant stench. As a mom and grandma, I felt this was disgusting. Maybe there should be a rule that kids needs to be changed in the toilet area. What's your take on this?

A: The Federal Aviation Administration doesn't have a rule on where diaper changing should occur, only when -- and the when is when the seat belt sign is off. If an airline has no regulation (check websites), it is up to the parent.
