Some airlines are <a href="https://vt.co/lifestyle/airline-praised-for-making-adults-only-section-on-their-planes">starting to introduce child-free zones</a> on board their planes, but it's safe to say not everyone is happy about it. Going on vacation is usually what people look forward to all year, but the plane journey to get to your destination isn't always the most enjoyable part. From lack of legroom, being stuck in the middle seat, or hitting an unpleasant patch of turbulence, there's a host of things that can ruin the experience. The icing on the cake is often when you're stuck in front of a child who's kicking the back of your chair or crying - so a child-free section of the plane appears to make sense - however, not everyone is so keen on the idea. <img class="wp-image-1263233260 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/10/GettyImages-1401028537.jpg" alt="child on plane" width="2120" height="1414" />[[imagecaption|| Travelers will be able to pay extra not to sit near anyone else's 'little darlings'.

They took to Twitter to share their thoughts, with one <a href="https://twitter.com/LizardKangz_95/status/1699083999514407421?s=20">commenting</a>: "So apparently airlines are considering making 'child free zones' on planes, & I can’t decide if this is a dystopian shift or not, but generally it’s really sad how little tolerance people have for children & babies—even acting like they shouldn’t be in public." Others agreed, <a href="https://twitter.com/AlCatJDP/status/1648854825755635712">adding:</a> "My almost 2 yr old has cried for a grand total of 10 seconds on 6 flights. Sorry, but children exist in society," <a href="https://twitter.com/fairy_khy/status/1664328050413117441">and:</a> "PUBLIC spaces being child free. It’s a f**king PLANE. Parents have to travel with their children. They have that right to travel with their children. Y’all are f***n weird." Some were all for parts of the cabin without kids, <a href="https://twitter.com/Glenn_Coco29/status/1708178713102180806">writing:</a> "That’s it sign me up for the child free section of the plane," <a href="https://twitter.com/simon_skybox/status/1648345533252259842">and:</a> "I’ve been saying this for years ppl traveling with children need a separate plane, terminal, etc. I will gladly pay extra to have a child free flight. Like child free resorts." Another <a href="https://twitter.com/peterwoolf57/status/1653479213616250914">commented:</a> "Im on a plane , on way to London, im tired, and have screaming kid in front , screaming kid behind...its times like this i truly believe in child free flying .. 5 hours of this aaaarrrggghhh." <img class="wp-image-1263233263 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/10/GettyImages-119523553.jpg" alt="child on plane " width="2159" height="1388" />[[imagecaption|| Having a child kicking the back of your chair throughout a long-haul flight is never fun.

I'd pay a lot." Some travelers were on the fence, <a href="https://twitter.com/LaCienegaBlvdss/status/1648291549078515718">writing:</a> "I am not part of the community that believes children/babies shouldn’t fly HOWEVER, I do believe certain communities do not properly manage their children in public and I understand why that might drive someone to lose their mind." Another <a href="https://twitter.com/radishmere/status/1699409584392139263">pointed out:</a> "I’m not totally against child free sections on airplanes if they’d charge extra for those seats and reduce rates for everyone else. Also if a baby cries on a plane can’t everyone hear it." Child-free flights are a reality on some airlines, with Turkish-owned Corendon Airlines being the latest to reveal it will have an adults-only zone in its planes, where passengers over the age of 16 are able to travel in peace. Of course, such an upgrade doesn't come for free, but it's actually relatively cheap to bag a seat in the adults-only section on their route on the 432-seat Airbus 350 from Amsterdam to Curaçao. [[jwplayerwidget||https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/D6qnPPs5-YXhMkIor.mp4||D6qnPPs5]] There will be 93 seats available in the zone at the front of the plane, which will be separated from the rest of the cabin by walls and curtains, and passengers will have to pay a reported €45 ($49) each way for the privilege of sitting there - which is pretty reasonable to ensure you get to relax on the 10-hour trip. There's also an upgrade to extra legroom seats in the same section which are a little pricier at an extra €100 ($108). Atilay Uslu, founder of Corendon, said in a statement: "Onboard our flights, we always strive to respond to the different needs of our customers. "We also believe this can have a positive effect on parents traveling with small children. They can enjoy the flight without worrying if their children are making too much noise." <img class="wp-image-1263233264 size-full" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/10/GettyImages-1392545229.jpg" alt="woman on plane" width="2121" height="1414" />[[imagecaption|| Many people are happy to pay extra to ensure they have a peaceful flight.

Malaysia's AirAsia, India's IndiGo, and Singapore's Scoot airlines already offer child-free or 'quiet' zones. Of course, it's not the child's fault if they get a bit over-tired or overwhelmed and start crying or acting up on a plane - nor is it that of the harassed parent doing everything in their power to quieten them down - but there is still nothing worse than being kept awake on a long-haul flight by the noise. It might not be super cheap, but adults-only zones are sure to be popular with those happy to pay extra to spend the journey in peace. <h6>Featured image credit: freemixer/Getty Images</h6>
