Just to say my motivation for posting this thread was really to try and support other parents travelling with children with clear, evidence based opinion on choice of airline as it is very difficult for families who fly irregularly to know what’s best.

I am happy that you draw your own conclusions based on the information that I have provided though I think the website is all the poorer for receiving undeclared airline opinion.

Particular thanks however to those who expressed concern for our children and the dire experience that they had flying with Emirates.

I may post again in the future but I shall certainly not be flying with Emirates.
