I don't think its fair to the other passengers and plane staff to leave your kids in their hands. I don't think 10 and 12 are responsible enough to be left alone.

I won't comment on the parenting aspect as I would have preferred to sit elsewhere at that age, but this is a case of self-entitlement at its finest.

Agree, and her "I introduce myself" comment is more than a little arrogant. She's not that famous.

Been a parent. Under 11. Not acceptable. Out of primary school it is perfectly okay if the airline allow it.
BA allow unaccompanied minors to travel even with no parents sitting in the nose.

Well done Kirsty. Teach the kids they need aspirations.
With the 12 year old monitoring the younger one as a former parent I approve.

To anyone saying they don’t want to sit next to children it happens all the time. I have had far more disgusting individualsl next to me over the years.

I'd never heard of her before today, but that probably says more about me than her :hehe:.

I'm not sure how you'd explain this to your kids - "We're not sitting in the cheap seats with the riff raff but it's good enough for you."

PM Sludge for a full rundown, pics, etc..

You go on holiday to spend time with the kids, not palm them off on strangers while you pamper yourself.

Not news though, not sure why the BBC has picked it up.
She's spouted it out to the sun knowing full well that some will agree and some will think she's irresponsible, and the resulting hoo-har will raise her profile, and the BBC have dutifully shat out a story on their website to help.

As of now, this story is above today's news about Grendel in BBC News website's most read chart - I can't act all superior about that either because I've not read the Grendel story yet.

I walked to school and back at the age of 10, started flying alone at the age of 13 (mother lived in Spain) when i went to visit,

10 and 12 seems a reasonable age to be sat alone IMO

Selfish cow.

Didn't this scenario take place in the first "Home Alone" film?

Utterly disgraceful. "an absurd waste of money" to fly business class. You said it Kirsty. Now look after your kids properly ffs and stop palming them off to strangers. Fecking Z listers

If it was a working class family, where the kids are in the other part of the plane where the parents sup Stella, I'm sure social services would be notified

Actually false reporting again, what happens is that they sit in premier economy while the kids sit in economy so they are just in front of their kids or if the kids are further back, they can still see them, and if that were not the case, if the kids are well behaved, which apparently they are, then they are old enough to sit on their own but what the article fails to mention is her step children are a lot older, and they sit with the younger ones, I see no mention of that fact in the article!

False reporting? Or did she want it to come out like that to generate a bit of cheap heat on social media.

It's just the same as parents who go to Butlins and whilst they get pi$$ed at the bar, they leave the kids watching some weird Clown Magician :hehe::hehe:

What a selfish bitch

She is very self important. As RJK says surely you go on a family holiday to be with each other.

Utter snobbery.

I don't think the issue is them flying at that age, its that their mother was on the same flight and refused to sit with them and expected other to look out for them

Love how her early defence is that it was wrong for her children to sit in the more expensive seats with her, completely misunderstanding that that's not what people were expecting, and then ended it by trying to bring a new issue into play.

She's right - you can parent how you see fit - but who is responsible for helping her children with oxygen masks if needed? Unfairly putting the onus on others in an emergency to look after her children so she can have a better time.

No wonder she is such a porker - always scoffing and drinking champers :kebab::curry::popcorn:

She's got a bit of Monica Lewinsky about her that's for sure.

Wish I'd thought of it ! Kids of that age wouldn't know or care what class they're in, so long as they're with their siblings.

However we live in 'precious' times, when parents wouldn't dream of putting themselves before their children - they might get upset..

Surprised Kirstie didn't make her own plane, tight arsed bitch :hehe:

I find it not nice, but not unexpected. You cannot go to a pub for a quiet meal nowadays without some little fkin Jonnie & Kylie running riot whilst the parents are too busy getting p!ssed, parents use all kinds of places to offload their sproggs whilst enjoying them selves!!!. Their hands will be 1st up at the 10.00 am introduction meeting to put their kids in the morning club at El Dorado.

false reporting ? ? ?

this is the quote from the article

Ms Allsopp told the Sun newspaper that she and her partner sometimes sit in the business class cabin, while her children, 10 and 12, sit in economy.


defiantly separate sections

even if what you say is right, Prem ecom and Ecom are separated by a partition and curtain door, depending on location of seats, you are most likely not going to see then in the other cabin

I don't know who this person is but she sounds like a ****.

When it comes to aeroplane seats it's all about location, location, location.....


(Are her children really called Oscar Hercules Andersen and Bay Atlas Andersen? Blimey! As if she hasn't given them enough grief already)

Have you got a link to this information, only your track record is not the strongest...

Not good.

Firstly, she is asking passengers and stewardesses to do her parenting. No.

Secondly, its bloody irritating when people move between cabins as she will do to check on the kids (I'm assuming this long haul. Short haul its irrelevant).

But the main reason this is terrible is safety. What does she do in an emergency? Walk back through the plane against the flow to help the kids? The kids will panic and mum wont be there to help. All of this will slow the process of getting pax off the plane asap which could have some nasty implications.

Whatever, why would you marginalize your own children? If you want your children to fly in coach, show them by example. "If you work as hard as I do you can have what I have" is a shitty example for anyone. Especially when work as hard as I do can be substituted for have the same advantages I have.
