Robbie Williams’ wife Ayda Field says they make their children fly economy while they sit first class
Ayda Field has revealed the strict rule that she and husband Robbie Williams enforce on their children when they travel on a plane.
The actress, 44, and the singer, 49, sit first class whenever they take a flight, but make their four children, Teddy, 11, Charlie, nine, Coco, five and Beau, three, go in economy class. Speaking to The Sunday Times, she said: “My kids fly economy whenever we fly. I turn left and they turn right. That’s terrible. I mean, people will think I’m such a d***.
“There’s no interest in raising brats. My kids will know [economy] is where they will sit in a plane until they can pay to put themselves in a different part of the plane.”
They aren’t the only celebrity parents who take that stance when it comes to travel.
Gordon Ramsay has been vocal about how he also refuses to allow his kids to travel first class with him.
Speaking to The Telegraph in 2017, he said: “They don’t sit with us in first class. They haven’t worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that.
“At that age, at that size, you’re telling me they need to sit in first class? No, they do not. We’re really strict on that.
“I turn left with Tana and they turn right and I say to the chief stewardess, ‘Make sure those little f****** don’t come anywhere near us, I want to sleep on this plane.’
“I worked my f***ing a**e off to sit that close to the pilot and you appreciate it more when you’ve grafted for it.”
