This is weird!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44353321

I think it is a parent's duty to be with their children during a flight, in case they are needed. Flying in a different section to them is a dereliction of duty, imo.

Not weird - but it is selfish and inconsiderate.

Re: This is weird!

If parents want to fly with their kids then they should be responsible for them on the flight. I do not agree with Kirstie or her partner putting them in a different area of the plane. They should fly together as a family. Totally selfish IMO to fly business & put the kids economy. With the money she & probably her OH earn they should be able to afford for all to be together.

Re: This is weird!

Its up to her what she does I guess but I personally would never in a million years fly in a separate part of the plane from my children. I would hate to be apart from my children should the unthinkable happen.

It is very unfair on other passengers to have unattended kids who might misbehave.

If the kids misbehave and are slapped by other passengers for doing so, then Kirstie Allsopp cannot complain can she???

I wouldn't have my children sitting in a different cabin to myself, they need to be with me.

Re: This is weird!

The boys are 10 yrs and 12 yrs, so I can understand that they both don't want mum and dad cuddled up next to them. I don't understand why Kirsty and hubby can't travel economy class a few seats further away from the children. It's not as if they'd get mobbed on a flight , and they could have even more 'shed loads of holidays' with the money saved.
They probably want to watch 'adult movies' away from kids prying eyes.

Re: This is weird!

I love Kirsty...and Phil too but l was surprised at her, regarding this.

I would want to be with my children too but everyone to their own.
