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.

How much extra to use it though? I hope it catches on, but I doubt it will be reasonably priced enough for most travelers.

The article has the price. 45€ / $49

Thank you! I did read it but must have missed where the price was stated.

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.

constant harrasment, screaming, and back of chair kicking.

Something tells me you've never experienced this yourself. While it may happen, it's certainly not indicative of how most children behave on planes.

Thanks for telling me what I have and haven't experienced. I hadn't realized. Must have dreamt about it instead.

How many times have you experienced a child kicking your chair on a plane?

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.
