Another Airline Set To Launch Child-Free, 'Adult Only' Section On Its Flights, But You May Have To Pay Extra

Children can sometimes be perceived as annoying on a flight, especially on a long one. Some children are naturally loud, whether they're crying, talking, or playing. This noise can disrupt the peaceful environment that many passengers seek during a flight.

Babies and toddlers may cry or throw tantrums for reasons such as ear discomfort due to pressure changes, discomfort from wearing a seatbelt, or simply because they're tired or hungry. This can be distressing for passengers seated nearby.

For people who hate dealing with crybaby situations on a flight, there is good news.

Another Airline To Offer Child-Free Areas During Flights

It's most likely occurred to you before. You board a plane, anxious to catch a well-deserved snooze, but you soon realise that a crying infant is seated next to (or very close to) you and your peaceful dreams slip away.

While this isn't the baby's fault, it does have an impact on your flight experience. Fortunately, some airlines received the message and have begun establishing child-free zones for travellers who want to avoid possibly loud children (though we wish they'd do something about the potentially problematic adults, too).

The 'Adult Only' zone will permit people above the age of 16

According to Euronews, Turkish-owned Corendon will be the first European airline to offer the service, following in the footsteps of a few other foreign carriers, notably AirAsia.

The service, which will be accessible on one of the company's flights connecting Amsterdam and the Caribbean island of Cura?ao, was just revealed. Beginning in November, the service will include one 'Adult Only' zone, which will be restricted to travellers over the age of 16.

It will also be a rather large region. The 'Adult Only' section of the plane will have 93 seats and will be isolated from the child-friendly parts by walls and curtains.

However, sitting in the quieter area may cost you a little more. Passengers will have to pay an additional €45 for every flight to enter the "exclusive" zone, which is roughly equivalent to $49 at the time of writing.
