73 Percent of Indian Flyers Want 'Child-Free Zones' on Planes


When asked if they will pay extra to sit in a child-free zone on-board an aircraft, 43 per cent of the respondents said they are not for an "adult only" section and are this not ready to pay more.

However, says the survey, an interesting finding is that two out of the five male travellers are ready to pay 10 per cent more as they feel that co-passengers with kids shouldn't be made to sit next to them as they are noisy.

In fact, 70 per cent of men rate "peace" and "quiet" as "very" important factors to them while in flight compared with 66 per cent women.

The survey further reveals that women seem to empathize with families with young children with 12 per cent women saying noise didn't seem to bother them whilst travelling.

Founded in 2003, the global travel tracker Skyscanner, which gets over 25 million unique visitors a month, is available in 30 languages.
