AND FINALLY: Flying with kids

If travelling with children strikes fear into your heart, take comfort from Emirates.

The airline has hired a “psychologist and boredom specialist”, Dr Sandi Mann, to advise on ways to keep the little darlings entertained on its aircraft. Generously, it has put the tips on its website for all to share. Just Google “Emirates travelling with children”.

For those who think this may not be important, bear in mind it apparently takes our beloved Young Flyers just 49min 47sec on average to ask the dreaded question “Are we nearly there yet?’’ London – Hong Kong for example is 12hr, give or take. We rest our case.
