‘Absolute Bliss’ – Why Airlines Are Gambling on Child-Free Zones

news

The summer holidays are over, which means the children of Britain are finally back on terra firma. For six long weeks, child-free flight passengers have endured kicks in the back of their seats, flying sweets, and the obligatory quacking of whatever mobile phone game was in fashion this summer.  

Yet things will only get worse with the dawning of September, as parents with children under four cash in on cheaper, quieter holidays. Nobody wants to be seated next to an infant, and no parent enjoys the stress of flying with children. But one airline thinks it has found the solution. 

Corendon Airlines, the Turkish-Dutch carrier, has announced plans for an “adults only” zone on its flights between Amsterdam and the Caribbean island of Curaçao, starting on November 3. 

The adults section will be at the front of the aircraft, consisting of 93 standard seats and nine with extra legroom. The zone, designed for passengers aged 16 and over, will be separated from the rest of the plane with a divider and curtains, according to Corendon.
