Seasoned traveller, and mum-of-five, Elly Stancliffe, urged fellow parents to make your trip during the day.

While many opt for a night flight, thinking their child will doze off into the Land of Nod, this is not always the case.

In many circumstances, kids won’t be able to fall asleep – and their parents are left fighting off the Z’s.

“I find that travelling in the day-time on the way there works best because mine are always too excited to sleep,” said the CEO of The Handbook.

“On the way back, night-time works because the excitement has worn out and they’re tired,” she told the outlet.

The travel guru also thinks it’s best to journey by plane because siblings are too “compact” in a car and will end up arguing.

Elly added how frequent toilet stops and more restricted movement make it a less favourable mode of transport.

It is also worth noting children under two who sit on an adult’s lap on a plane usually travel free on domestic flights, or at a discounted fare further abroad.

KID-FREE FLIGHT ZONES

KID-FREE flights are being offered for the first time by a European airline – but it comes as a price.

No passenger enjoys listening to a screaming baby, or dealing with a fidgety toddler beside them on-board.

But now holidaymakers can wave goodbye to those painful in-flight experiences and travel in child-free bliss.

Travellers will be able to enjoy peace and comfort from behind a solid partition of walls and curtains, separating them from the rest of the cabin.

Corendon is the first European airline to provide the unique luxury opportunity.

Atilay Uslu, Corendon founder, said the child-free zone aims to “accommodate travellers looking for extra peace during their flight.”

The founder added that parents travelling with children “can enjoy the fight without worrying if their children make a little noise”.

Only Adult zones are at the front of the cabin, whereas the rest of the plane will still welcome children on-board.

The exclusive kid-free area will have a limited 93 seats – so it’s important to book quick.

Those wishing to enjoy the adult-only zone will have to fork out an extra €45 one way.
