Flying In Peace: This Airline Is Creating An Adults-Only Section
30.08.2023 - 12:15 / forbes.com / Atilay Uslu
Have you ever been awakened on a plane by a crying baby and wished that you could be on an adults-only flight? You’re not alone. According to a recent survey, nearly 60% of American adults agree that a child-free area on planes and trains would be nothing short of a blessing.
So, as the world of aviation takes a leap towards tailored experiences, one airline is leading the way, ensuring that you can kick back, relax and enjoy the skies—minus the cacophony of kids.
Corendon Airlines, a Turkish-Dutch carrier, is about to launch an “Only Adult” zone on its flights between Amsterdam and the sun-kissed Caribbean paradise of Curaçao starting on November 3, so that grown-ups can savor the joy of a child-free journey. It’s strategically positioned at the front of the Airbus A350-900 aircraft. With 93 seats reserved exclusively for anyone aged 16-plus, this oasis of calm will be have walls and curtains to maintain its exclusive silence.
Sitting in this serene adults-only sanctuary area will call a modest extra fee of €45 (approximately $49). But if you want extra legroom, it will cost an additional €100 (about $108) to book one of the nine extra-large seats.
The endeavor is the brainchild of Corendon founder Atilay Uslu, who also runs adults-only hotels in number of popular vacation destinations including Curaçao, Bodrum in Turkey and Ibiza, Spain. Uslu believes in providing passengers with more than just an A to B journey; it’s about an experience that’s tailored to passengers’ need for some good old-fashioned tranquility. His aim? “To appeal to travelers looking for some extra peace of mind during their flight,” Uslu said in a statement.
Since the airline will also have a zone where kids can sit, it will also be helpful for families with children. “We also believe this can have a positive effect on parents traveling with small children. They can enjoy the flight without worrying if their children make more noise,” said Uslu.
While Corendon Airlines is leading the charge in Europe, it’s not a new concept in Asia. Scoot—a low-cost Singapore-based carrier—has Scoot-in-Silence cabins on its 787 flights that are only accessible to travelers over 12. AirAsia X has also carved out special spaces for passengers over 12 with a Quiet Zone on its A330 long-haul flights.

This European Airline Is Creating an Adults-Only Section
Kid kicking the back of your airline seat? It’s a tale as old as time—an indignity of air travel on par with the objectively bad food and the sock-less foot of a neighbor—but one that might become less of a problem should a new initiative take off. This November, Corendon Airlines will launch an adults-only section on flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao. With dedicated seating for passengers ages 16 and up, the Dutch airline hopes to improve the experiences of both those with and without children.

It will be in beta format, starting in November, on a flight from Amsterdam toCuracao.I can see both sides of this.It’s ideal for somebody like business travelers who want to get some work done. What if that were the case, then don’t take what amounts to, or mostly, a vacation airline.

Should planes have child-free zones? This airline thinks so
As a mom of three and a frequent traveler, I am no stranger to being in the presence of a crying baby on a plane. I know how stressful it can be for the parents and how disruptive it can be for passengers within earshot. But as a former baby myself, I have also learned to accept that crying babies are just a part of life. With more than a hundred million babies born into the world every year, there is, quite literally, no escaping them.
