, has sparked debate as to whether children should be allowed to fly business class - all whilst complaining about a child on her flight.
This week, Lottie took to Instagram to complain about a child sitting next to her when she flew business to Paris recently. She posted: ‘Not to sound pretentious or anything why the f**k are children allowed in business class?A follower of Lottie’s responded: ‘What are parents flying business class supposed to do with their kids?’, to which she jokingly responded: ‘I don’t know, put them in the luggage hold or something I guess’.
So should children be able to fly business? There’s quite a bit to unpack. Some have argued that the increased space granted by premium class may placate a fidgety, restless young child and might make them more likely to be calm, if they’re more comfortable. Or, for those who aren’t flying with children, is it merely a case of respecting the rules of public transport that certainly dictate less exclusive methods of travel, like economy class and local trains and buses? That a child may appear and affect your journey, whether you like it or not?
