NEWTON, Mass., Oct. 3 (UPI) -- A survey of U.S. air travelers indicates most fliers believe cell phones should be banned from flights and small children should sit in a designated section.

TripAdvisor's annual Travel Trends survey of 3,117 U.S. fliers found 80 percent of respondents believe cell phones should be banned during flight, while 69 percent said wireless Internet should be allowed, USA Today reported Friday.

The survey found 71 percent of those polled believe families with small children should have to sit in a designated section of the plane. Thirty percent said the largest irritants on planes are small children kicking the backs of seats.
