Passengers can escape kids on new flights to NZ

Budget airline AirAsia X is due to make its debut in Auckland tomorrow promising cut-price fares and the opportunity to escape kids on the plane - for a price. The Malaysian-based carrier charges about $45 on long-haul flights for passengers wanting to avoid children under 10. The airline is using a 377-seat Airbus A330 on the Kuala Lumpur-Auckland route which flies via the Gold Coast and allocates 72 seats to the "Quiet Zone". (www.nzherald.co.nz) Más...
