Yes, I should have changed him as we were sitting in the concourse, but I didn't......and when we got on the plane I thought maybe it's just pee and he can wait.....no way...."Mommy, yucky poopy!"
Ok....then I thought, how about if I fold the arm up and change him in the seats or on the floor in the back....NOW COME ON PEOPLE....it's a baby....I can change him very quickly and if you are that put off, don't look! No such luck...the stewardes insisited I take him in the bathroom.....fine.....NEVER AGAIN!
The changing table folds out of the wall over the toilet....no big deal, IF you have a newborn.....ugghhh....Sam's feet were hanging over the edge and his head was crammed in the corner and JUST MY LUCK...poop....not the pellet kind either.
He's complaining the entire time (....which I couldn't blame him), but as my one hand is trying to hold his legs up and the other is reaching for the wipes, I'm using my body to keep him wedged on the shelf. Needless to say, I cleaned him up MUCH better after we got home.
IT WAS NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!

That doesn't sound like fun.
My worst was when there was NO changing table. The flight attendent told me to do it on the ground outside the bathroom. Where people track all the stuff that makes it on the floor in an airplane bathroom. Disgusting!
If they are going to allow children on airplanes they NEED to attend to their basic functional needs. I travelled by air when my two were small and it hasn't improved ONE IOTA. Hello, people at the airlines? These are future passengers! (or NOT!)
Yes, changing a diaper on the airplane is NOT fun. Thankfully, we did not have a poopy one on the long flight home! I just changed it at the seat (we had an extra seat between us). It worked fine. But, then changing on a girl and a boy are 2 different things!!! And changing poo...yeah, that would NOT be fun!
The moral of the story...change before getting on the plane and hope and pray no poopy diapers on the plane! :-)
