More Travelers in Favor of Child-Free Flights

Crying babies, kids with powerful kicks and endless high-pitched noises prevalent in today’s video games are bound to make anyone a little stir-crazy, even at 30,000-feet. If you secretly wish the family of four with toddlers in tow were seated anywhere but the empty seats behind you on your next flight, you’re not alone.

According to a new survey from consumer group airfarewatchdog.com, an overwhelming majority of air passengers would prefer “special seating” areas for people traveling with young children.

Out of 10,000 travelers, airfarewatchdog.com found that 85 percent thought segregating travelers with children from other passengers was a good idea, including parents.

The survey also found that 54 percent of flyers would pay $10 extra for a flight with no babies or children, and 20 percent would pay more than $40 to fly on a flight without crying, kicking and/or rambunctious children.
