Corendon will work with child-free zones in their airplanes

Whether you really love children or have nothing to do with them; I think everyone agrees that a crying baby or toddler on a plane is quite annoying. Fortunately, I often have ‘luck’ with this and mostly see sleeping babies around me, but recently it happened: during a six-hour flight, there was a child exactly one row in front of me that just cried. Nonstop. I didn't understand it at one point: wasn't that child getting tired? Six hours of crying is long, you know. I was already exhausted and I just had to listen.

During that flight, I would have paid some extra money to sit in peace. Even though you know it's really hell for the parent(s) traveling with them, it remains very unpleasant. So I understand Corendon, which is going to offer child-free zones during their flights. It costs you an extra 45 euros per flight, and then you sit at the front of the plane (so also less turbulence, yes) and that zone is then shielded with walls and curtains. This is also called the ‘Only Adult’ zone.

I predict that this will be a gap in the market; many international airlines already work with a similar zone, but in the Netherlands, Corendon is the first to do this. For now, it seems that this will remain the case: KLM, TUI, and Transavia indicated that they have ‘no plans’ for child-free zones. Well, just wait, I bet they will follow quickly if this turns out to be a success?
