Who is primarily responsible for the childrens safety? The airline or the parents?
If parents are so concerned about safety and sitting together why don't they just stump up the £10 (for a family of 5) to have priority boarding. Parents spend a lot more in WH Smith on Mars bars, fizzy drinks and crisps or at Burger King for their kids, many of which look has they have gone minutes since their last feed!
Perhaps the parents that moan about the Ryanair charges should get their priorities rights. Safety or junk food?
