Tired of hearing blubbering babies and toddler tantrums when you’re trapped on a 10-hour flight? The airline Corendon has a solution: a “child-free zone” on their flights from Schiphol to Curaçao. 🤫
Starting in November, this “Only Adult zone” on Corendon flights will secure a more peaceful and nap-friendly journey for passengers who don’t want to be disturbed by kids, RTL Nieuws reports. 🤐
Pay the price
But those who want to avoid the ruckus have to cough up the cash; a seat for the Only Adult zone will tack on an additional €45 to your ticket — a fee many are apparently very willing to fork out.
This blissfully kid-free area will be divided off from the rest of the aircraft using walls and curtains, serving as a kind of childless first class. ⛔️👶
New trend or dead end?
Even so, Corendon is not the first airline to come up with this idea. Various international companies have already implemented their own kid-free zones onboard, but Corendon appears to be the first one of its kind in the Netherlands.
AirAsia X offers the Quiet Zone on its A330 long-haul flights, while Singapore-based low-cost airline, Scoot, offers its own version of the child-free zone with its ScootinSilence cabin.

Will this trend catch on to popular Dutch airlines such as KLM, TUI, and Transavia? Evidently not…👀
A TUI spokeswoman pointed out that it might not be the best move considering “many families go on holiday by plane in the summer”.
