Passengers happy to pay more for child-free flights

Sunday, 02 Aug, 2012 0

A third of airline passengers would pay higher fares to ensure child-free flights, according to research.

Travel review site TripAdvisor found children are one of the biggest frustrations for those flying.

According to the survey of more than 2,000 Brits, 37% would be willing to pay higher fares for an adult-only flight.

22% of respondents claimed children kicking the back of seats was most annoying while 22% said their worst gripe was parents not controlling their kids.

Another faux pas, according to 29% of Britons, is inconsiderate seat recliners.

"Whether we can expect to see any airlines offering child-free flights in the future remains to be seen, but it’s clearly a topic that fiercely divides opinion," said a spokesman for TripAdvisor.
