Why aren't there adult only flights? (self.casualconversation)

Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it's incredibly lucky if they don't spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I'm not going to rant too hard about that.

Why on earth hasn't any airline started marketing adult-only flights?

It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.

Not enough demand. Most people aren't going to pay extra for a child free flight, especially if it's a short flight. Most people will easily put up with a screaming child for a two hour flight if they can save several hundred dollars that they don't have anyway.
