This airline is testing an ‘Only Adults’ zone
If you’ve ever had a crying baby seated near you during a flight, you know how disruptive it can be. This past April, a man had an outburst on a Southwest flight when a crying baby woke him up. One airline is trying to avoid that by being the first in Europe with dedicated seating zone for passengers 16 years or older. Turkish-Dutch Corendon Airlines is testing the “Only Adult” zones on flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao starting in November, according to a press release. 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. With the new seating arrangement, families can also breathe a little easier knowing they won’t be disturbing childless passengers. Unfortunately, sitting away from children will cost you a little extra. For a one-way ticket, the zone will cost an extra 45 euros, or just under $49. For an XL seat, it’ll be an extra 100 euros, or about $108. <br/>
