A recent study has ranked Manchester Airport as the countries 4th airport when it comes too been child friendly. Me been a mother of a 2 year old knows full well travelling with children is not the easiest and let’s face it extremely stressful. Most flights you need to be at the airport and checked in at least 2 hours before the flight leaves. Keeping a little one’s occupied is very challenging.
The study conducted asked 1,000 families to score the UK’s 10 major airports out of 10 points. Factors which were taken into consideration were children’s food choices, airport security and also play areas. Below is a list of the 10 airports and how well they scored.
To my surprise Heathrow Airport came in 10th place, I really think putting play areas into all airports is a must as you can sit close by and let the children play. Before long an hour has passed and you can grab something to eat and board the flight.
