The airline Corendon has introduced a pretty novel feature to some of its flights, where, for an additional cost, passengers will be able to select seating in an adults-only zone.
The list of things that make air travel difficult is long and exhausting, to such a degree that it often masks the miracle of flight altogether. The average trip begins with getting to the airport, which generally is some distance from any place you actually want to be, and, depending on your flight, often means getting up particularly early or staying up late. Then begins the process of passing through multiple checks, filed with similarly annoyed passengers, before you get to your gate.
First-class seats no doubt alleviate some of these issues, but there is one notorious equalizer, regardless of where one sits. A small child can not really comprehend the air pressure changes, noise, and temperature of an airplane and will, inevitably, fill the fuselage with a barrage of endless screams. This is an occurrence so common that just the sight of a child by the gate will leave other passengers in a state of abject terror.
By sitting in what has to now be thought of as the “child area,” parents are absolved of any irritation their offspring may bring. Not only does the airline get some additional funds by selling tickets but passengers sitting near a crying child will consider purchasing a “child-free” ticket in the future. Corendon Airlines is not the first airline to limit where children can sit, although it is the first in Europe.
In general, child-free travel is growing in demand. While parents might find this disconcerting, in general, the trend seems to be charging extra for sitting in an area without a child, instead of paying extra to bring a child. Certain train lines and even buses are working on spaces that would not have any children in them, though this raises the question if young parents will find it increasingly difficult to find spaces on any transportation in the future.
who can’t deal with the noise, so perhaps removing this stressor is better for everyone in the long run.Anyone can write on Bored Panda.
