Even if you have kids of your own, there can be nothing more irritating than a screaming child on a flight. It's as if the altitude makes the screeching sound twice as bad.

According to a new survey by LateDeals.co.uk, almost seven in ten Brits despise flying with babies so much, they'd support a move to see child-free areas introduced on planes.

Such is our hatred of noise on flights, 35% of us would pay more to be seated on a child-free flight, and long-haul passengers would stump up an extra £63 for a return ticket to ensure there are no kids on the plane.

However, the survey revealed that it's not whiny babies that our our number one travel hate - 58% of people said that 'drunk and rowdy passengers' were the most annoying factors on a flight.

Bear that in mind next time you reach for the complimentary wine, TNTers.
