Air NZ does not offer "child fares"!

mattwnz: lthough you do still have child fares, on trains and buses. Although they are supposed to stand up and give their seat to an adult if they are standing, which I guess is becuase adults are paying full fare. That is not really possible on a plane.

Who said this? I have never seen this rule anywhere?

3.3 Any Passenger travelling on a child fare must stand if an adult requires a seat.

I am a little surprised they do have this policy still, in the PC world we now live in.

But it is common courtesy for a child to give an adult their seat, especially if the adult is elderly. I recall when I was at school, this was one of the rules too.

I have seen children being told by other adults to let an elderly person sit in their place on wellingotn buses, but children shouldn't need to be asked.
