Changing Babies on Planes

Just thought you should know this. I heard a woman on the show a week or two ago complain about not being able to change a baby on an airplane, and it sounded like you did NOT know that some planes now have changing tables in the bathrooms. They're not full-blown changing stations like you'll find in a real public bathroom, but instead the wall behind the toilet folds down over the toilet to form a lovely little shelf that's just the right size.

I live in Minneapolis, so I almost always (have to) fly Northwest, so I think it's on NW planes that I've run into this; on the other hand, I've developed such a hatred for NW that I keep hoping it was on one of my rare trips on American that I found the changing tables. Anyway, thought you should know and be able to let other moms know that sometimes there are places to change babies -- and presumably, the airline could tell you in advance whether or not your plane is equipped for it.
