The sound of crying babies is disruptive for many passengers and one airline is trying to create some relief with a new seating zone.
Corendon Airlines is testing the “Only Adult” zones on flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao starting in November.
This area will be located at the front of the Airbus A350-900 aircraft and consists of nine XL seats with additional legroom and 93 standard seats.
There will be walls and curtains separating the “Only Adult” zone from the rest of the plane, making it ideal for travelers without children and business travelers who “want to work in a quiet environment,” according to a press release.
They should just turn the back of the plane into a ball pit and chuck all the kids back there before takeoff. The larger ones can take care of the babies.
Is the section going to be decorated with pineapples? And can we do adult activities? Cause if not what's the point, ear plugs/buds easily take care of babies and Karens alike.
Just had two flights with a baby crying the entire time yesterday. All I had were airpods and they didn't do shit to drown out the h8gh pitched screaming.

As if the flimsy curtain is going to do anything, haha. You could technically have a baby as close as the row behind that. And you can already hear babies crying from across the plane anyways, especially as we trend towards smaller, more efficient planes like the 737 max and extended range 320s.
hope more will follow. no children on planes should be the normal state. unless you move or visit a dying loved one, there is no reason to bring a kid on a vehicle you share with other ppl...you are just selfish and rouining everyones day.
That may be one reason, bot also travelling on a weekly basis. You may think your kid is special, but at best its mediocre, most likely it is the worst and y'all are giving every one a hard time.
Ppl that are that selfish or stupid beyond repair to force new life through the upcoming hardships the world will encounter in the next years should be punished way harder than just travel bans.
also great attitude to load of your poor decisions on others and enforcing the burden on them
They should be charging the disruptive party a fee rather than the ones who just want to fly without the constant harrasment, screaming, and back of chair kicking.
No they shouldn't. Going out into society means you have to cope with all kinds of things. Also, earbuds and noice canceling headphones are amazing devices.
