Although spending a journey locked in a plane can sometimes be difficult for children and their parents, that doesn’t mean that little ones don’t enjoy flying above the clouds. Some travel professionals have understood this well and are trying to give the youngest among us a taste for travel. This Tuesday, December 5, 2023, Booking.com reveals the results of a study which highlights children’s aerial dreams. A survey aimed at finding out the expectations of the youngest regarding the design of their dream plane and the incredible destinations it could take them to.
“Air travel is a unique adventure for children, an experience they approach with boundless excitement.” estimates Marcel Rufo, professor of child psychiatry. And to add: “The Booking.com study highlights the need to cultivate this curiosity rather than repress it, because it is in these moments that lasting memories are built, that theft is integrated as an integral component of experience of travel and that the foundations are laid for a passion for exploring the world around them”.

Concerning the composition of the device, the study reveals strong expectations regardinga double-decker plane with slides connecting each level for 44% of children surveyed and a panoramic roof to see the stars, a device considered essential for 40% of respondents. There is no doubt that these improvements are likely to make plane flights more pleasant. However, it is unlikely that such developments will see the light of day given the know-how and technologies currently used in aeronautics.
No more regarding the activities that the youngest would like to be able to enjoy during a flight: a swimming pool (44%), a completely trampoline floor (34%) or even a climbing wall on the plane (30%). On board this dream plane, there is no shortage of destination inspiration for children. Still according to the results put forward by Booking.com, 43% of French children dream of flying aboard this machine to go to Lapland to see Santa Claus.
