Call for child-free flights to Australia

Many travellers are calling for airlines to offer child-free flights to Australia and other destinations, claims the New York Times.

According to Douglas Quenqua, some passengers view sitting next to an unruly child as second only to a crash landing. Therefore, customers could be tempted by child-free services or family-only sections of planes to help make their trips more enjoyable and quieter.

Ian Burford, who recently created a Facebook group calling for kid-free flights, explained: "I would gladly pay extra for a child-free flight. "At least if they made it easier when booking a flight to say I don't want to be seated next to a one-year-old. That would be helpful."

Airline Qantas recently faced a lawsuit from a woman who believed her hearing had been affected after being sat near a toddler on a flight to Australia from New York.

  1. By the Hospital Lane goes the 'Faeries Path.' Every evening they travel from the hill to the sea, from the sea to the hill. At the sea end of their path stands a cottage. One night Mrs. Arbunathy, who lived there, left her door open, as she was expecting her son. Her husband was asleep by the fire; a tall man came in and sat beside him. After he had been sitting there for a while, the woman said, 'In the name of God, who are you?' He got up and went out, saying, 'Never leave the door open at this hour, or evil may come to you.' She woke her husband and told him. 'One of the good people has been with us,' said he.
