Default Air flight - age range

Does anyone know of airlines where an 18 year old is still classed as a child?

No.

Most of them count children as adults from about 12.

Even between 2 and 12 you probably have to pay 75% fare.

think it may be virgin but the age isn't 18 got an idea it's 16 and think I remember seeing that it's only on some flights - maybe to US - sorry not very helpful and a bit vague

Would love to know if there are any we have been paying full price for our 17 year old since he was 12 and our 11 year old will soon join him :scared: . Virgin class children as up to 16 (at least they did when we went to Florida a while ago). Expensive business having kids .

The previous quote is correct about Royal Brunai Airlines. They fly people up to 17 yrs as a child, though I believe there are limited seats per flight as the radio advert implies this. It's a great advertising ploy though, as even if it's only a few seats per flight it will get people to make an enquiry.

The website still has children as up to 11 years so it might mean that you have to book over the phone to get this.

On the flight over my 13 year old asked if she could have a large Malibu since they had decided she was an adult Can't argue with the logic but did say no

This is hilarious. I hope my daughters grow up to be this perceptive!
