A mum has gone viral online after she posed a question about whether children be allowed to travel in business and first-class on planes.
American blogger and mum, Alexis often shares videos of her travels, useful tips and destination recommendations on TikTok, where she's known as @worldtraveladventurers.
But in a recent video, that has been viewed more than 668,000 times, she sparked a debate about travel etiquette as she asked what the right age is for kids to be allowed in upper classes on planes.
"Do you think kids should be allowed to fly business class?" she captioned the post.
The video shows her two children, Ellie and Christophe, flying first class on a number of trips.

"If parents can buy them a seat in business class, then they have the right to be there," she says in the video.
"We do think it's important though, for parents to teach kids to have proper behaviour on flights."
Alexis explains that they didn't travel in premium cabins until her kids were at least four years old because "at that age, they had more self-control and could manage their behaviour better."
Flying in business class gives her kids the freedom to lie down, sleep, play games and watch films - and the other passengers rarely even know they're there.
She posed the controversial question to TikTok users, who were keen to give their opinion.
Since being posted, the video has racked up almost 60,000 likes and 900 comments from divided viewers, with some saying they shouldn't be allowed.
One person said: "Absolutely not. They should create a children's suite."
Another added: "I think I'd be mad if I saw them. Kids aren't as quiet as parents pretend to think they are."
While a third said: "You didn't understand the assignment. They should have appropriate behaviour in any section."
But a few people didn't see the problem.
"Great if they can act like quiet adults," wrote one person.
A second put: "Honestly even if they don't behave you bought the tickets, they have the right to be there."
Another wrote: "Well if I buy a ticket my child is next to me. No way I'm sitting in 1st and she's elsewhere."
"I mean there are full-grown adults that didn't know how to act on an aircraft sooo," said someone else.
There were also a few horror stories about babies ruining flights, like this one: "I recently flew first class home from Hawaii and there was an infant who cried/ screamed the entire way. It's a lot of [money] to have to listen to that."
