Business travellers are calling on airlines to provide child-free flights. The demand came as poll discovered noisy children were the biggest issue for well-off passengers.
Corporate travellers said nothing annoyed them more than children running through their section or, if they were not upgraded, hearing their noise from economy class.
Almost three quarters (74%) of business class passengers get annoyed by children on flights, research for the Business Travel & Meetings show in London next week found.
Other concerns included 18% of those who had paid full price for tickets seeing economy class passengers getting a free upgrade.
And 15% want more privacy from economy passengers on the same flight. Poor service in upgraded sections was a complaint among 12% of 1,000 regular business class travellers surveyed by the show.
