An airline announced last week that it will set aside about 100 seats for adults on its Airbus A350 jets, which have 432 seats in all. A wall or curtain will separate the section from the rest of the passengers in back.
DALLAS — One airline plans to find out if solitude-seeking travelers will pay a hefty extra charge to avoid sitting near babies and little kids.
The Turkish carrier says people traveling without children will get quiet surroundings, and parents won't have to worry that their crying or fidgeting kids will annoy fellow passengers. The airline said on its website that it will charge passengers an extra reservation fee of $49 for the no-kids zone, rising to $109 for one of the extra-legroom seats.Brett Snyder, who runs a travel agency and writes the Cranky Flier blog, said Tuesday that there could be demand for adult seats.
Then again, he added, people in the back of the adult zone might still hear crying, "so it's like the old days when you were in the last row of the non-smoking section but could still taste that smoke."
