We all have our pet peeves when it comes to travelling by air. Many we accept as unavoidable parts of the process. For example, the rigmarole of airport security is without doubt a necessary evil.

But there are some things that we struggle to tolerate. And few things irritate us more than noisy children.

The airline has placed a minimum age of 12 years for passengers on the upper deck of its A380 aircraft, where there are 70 economy seats and 66 business class seats.
