Adults only: This Dutch airline introduces child-free section in its long haul flight
Dutch airline (CD), will implement exclusive “Only Adult” zones on its flights. By introducing this feature, Corendon aims to provide a tailored experience for travellers who prefer a child-free environment.
The airline will pilot the no kids area on its 10-hour flights between Amsterdam and the Caribbean island of Curacao, charging passengers an additional 45 euros ($49) for a standard seat or $100 for an XL seat, for the privilege of sitting in the “Only Adult” zone.
They will block the first 12 rows of the airline and will comprise of 93 standard seats and nine extra-large seats, curtained off from the rest of the aircraft, with a strict over 16s rule.
“This zone in the aircraft is intended for travelers traveling without children and for business travelers who want to work in a quiet environment,” the airline said in a press release, adding that it would also benefit parents of young children who may worry less about upsetting other passengers.
This is not the first time that an airline has introduced such rule.
Other airlines have also introduced similar initiatives in recent years include AirAsia X, which has quiet zones on its flights with entry barred to the under 10s, and Singapore carrier Scoot’s Scoot-in-Silence zones for the over 12s.
Founded in 2010, Corendon Dutch Airlines operates a fleet of three Boeing 737-800 aircraft mostly on holiday destinations, particularly in the Mediterranean region. Its operational scope includes scheduled and charter flights to leisure-focused destinations.
