Ever been on a long flight and wished you could enjoy some peace and quiet without the occasional wailing baby? Well, mark your calendars for November 2023! Netherlands-based Corendon Airlines has got your back. They're spicing things up by introducing a special adults-only zone for their Airbus A350 flights. Yep, that's right! Flying from Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport all the way to Curacao International Airport, and you might just have the calmest journey of your life.
What makes Corendon stand out? They're the first Dutch airline to take this unique step, setting up child-free zones on board.
Wondering about the details? This cozy adults-only section will have 93 standard seats and another nine XL seats that give your legs the space they deserve. It won't just be a name tag – the zone will be separated from the main cabin with walls and curtains. For a bit of exclusivity and tranquillity, you'll need to shell out €45 for a standard seat and €100 for the XL ones. But remember, it's only for folks 16 and up.
Now, this isn't just for those who want to enjoy a child-free journey or have some uninterrupted work hours in the sky. Think about the parents too! It might give them a bit of relief, knowing their bubbly toddlers won't be disturbing anyone else.
You might've heard about the rising concerns of frazzled passengers dealing with crying kids. There have been instances where flights had to change course due to some, let’s say, "overly expressive" adults. Take for instance that unfortunate event in April 2023. A Southwest Airlines flight heading to Fort Lauderdale had a tiny hiccup when a man lost his temper over a crying baby. Word is, after the baby had been crying for 40 minutes, this gentleman felt it was his turn and started yelling about the noise. When asked to tone it down by the flight attendants, he shot back, “So is the baby!” Talk about tense air!
So, whether it's to avoid such encounters or just to relax, Corendon's new zone might be the way to fly! Safe and serene journeys to all!
