    Out of interest, how do you choose a good seat? I get the impression you do a lot of flying. Any tips on the best seats would be appreciated.

    I'm not in the least bit bitter!

    Given that passengers aren't weighed to get on flights, the weight of any occupant of any seat is irrelevant. Flights full of children wouldn't have cheaper seats, because that isn't how it works.

    Er, yes they would. They would use less fuel, so the cost woul be lower.
    My council tax pays for lots of services for children which i don't use, so it probably evens out somewhere along the line. ;)

    Not really. Not having children is bad news for the economy.

    Airline is under no obligation to pass that on though ;)

    whereas the carbon footprint of adults and their flights is good news for the planet?

    Excellent, i am in bed (supposedly) doing some work and have strayed onto here. Seeing those two words 'carbon footprint' are excellent so thank you. I am instantly bored to sleep.
