Lu Zhenyuan, an eight-year-old Chinese boy, did not look young enough to merit an airfare discount, but now he has proven old enough to drag the airline company to court.

Lu, a resident of eastern Ningbo city, bought the ticket from China Eastern Airlines to the southwestern city of Kunming during January's Lunar New Year festival, paying the full price, the Qianlong state media website said Monday.

It was only when he was airborne that he looked at the back of his ticket to discover that he was entitled to a 50 percent discount, according to the report.

The legally savvy youngster has now decided to sue China Eastern as well as a Ningbo travel agency, asking for compensation and a public apology in a local newspaper, the report said.
