Babies to the back: This airline is testing an ‘Only Adults’ 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.
Let this idea catch on. And not just with airlines either. Restaurants, movie theaters, basically anywhere that kids go and parents are too lazy to control them.
As a parent, I actually support this idea. And it’s partly because kids are simply not always “controllable,” by any human, in a confined space after many hours.
Before I was a parent, I thought the right discipline would solve everything, but airplanes in particular are brutal environments, with very little space to move and limited options to distract them. Even screens, which are close to a silver bullet, don’t always work. Travel is exhausting and challenging for kids, and kids were never evolved well to handle being locked in a seat for hours, let alone dealing with pressure and time zone changes.
So please, until we have adults only zones, have a little patience. There are certainly bad parents, but I guarantee that most of them want their kid to be quiet even more than you do.
I'd imagine sending all the grumpy old codgers to their own zone will be a huge bonus for frazzled parents.
I was thinking... what's the acceptable level of pain we can put children through when travelling? If kids suffer during flights, why is it OK to fly with them? Because it's convenient?
Bro, universal kid ban. No more kids anywhere, problem solved.
As a supporter of the voluntary human extinction movement, I agree.
Yes fucking please.
Apparently they used to have soundproof rooms in the back of nice movie theaters where u could take your crying child and still enjoy the movie...as much as possible
Supermarkets. Just put a small cage outside, you will be out in 20 minutes, the kid will be fine. It's not like parents actually need their kids to scream that they want ice cream when shopping. I definitely don't need to hear it.
That's the dumbest idea I've seen all day. Like, seriously. That's basically begging for kids to be kidnapped from there.
This completely ruins my plan of training the children to do the shopping for me so I can just go sit in the cafe until it's time to pay.
