They should just turn the back of the plane into a ball pit and chuck all the kids back there before takeoff. The larger ones can take care of the babies.

The larger ones... you mean us adults who would not be able to resist a frolic in a ball pit?
Make this the new mile high club!
The last time I saw a bunch of adults using a ball pit people ended up being pretty pissed
Generally not a good idea to enter mile high club around kids.
I dunno, nine "XL" seats separated by a curtain sounds more like orgy class than noise-free zone
That's the adults only zone, similar.
but definitely not noise-free (:
Is the section going to be decorated with pineapples? And can we do adult activities? Cause if not what's the point, ear plugs/buds easily take care of babies and Karens alike.
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.
As if the flimsy curtain is going to do anything, haha. You could technically have a baby as close as the row behind that. And you can already hear babies crying from across the plane anyways, especially as we trend towards smaller, more efficient planes like the 737 max and extended range 320s.
This isn't on smaller single aisle planes though, they're doing this on an Airbus A350. On these planes there's a galley between the front seated section and the rest of the plane, with another section before coach. So there's a bit more than just a curtain.
Fucking finally!
I often book super early or late flights on purpose, they're normally cheaper and typically don't have any kids on them.
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. 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.
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.
mile high club soon to no longer be an unlockable achivement.
