Nearly three quarters of business travellers say children are the most annoying thing about first class travel.
That was the finding of a survey carried out by the Business Travel & Meetings Show, which takes place in London this week.
According to a statement, 1000 UK business travellers were asked what annoys them about first class travel.
Seventy four percent said children, 18% disliked people on a free upgrade, 15% wanted more privacy from travellers in economy and 12% were upset with service quality. Respondents were allowed to give multiple answers.
The show’s event director David Chapple said: “It’s understandably frustrating for business travellers who have paid a premium in expectation they can work and sleep in comfort, to have that peace disturbed by fidgeting, noisy children.
"Unsurprisingly, family and business travellers want very different experiences and the travel industry has taken that on board.
"A number of train operators, for example, have introduced Quiet Zones. The idea of banning children from cabins altogether is certainly an interesting one. I’d be fascinated to see how airlines react.”
