Solution for crying children: put them in cargo hold
There should be an airline section for families only, say a majority of those surveyed by Skyscanner.
“Non-parents particularly liked the idea with 68 percent voting in favor,” the site said.
Less than one-third of parents agreed.
Over 2,000 people voted in the Skyscanner poll; just 8 percent of child-free respondents thought people should be entitled to sit where they like, while almost more than two-thirds “wanted to sit as far away as possible from children.”
Almost a quarter of non-parents went one step further saying that they would prefer flights that were free from children altogether.
Other suggestions put forward by Skyscanner users to solve the problem of noisy children on flights included: the provision of a baby nursery, only allowing well-behaved children to travel, and on a less sympathetic note, one user said “children should go in the cargo hold.”
