Screaming, kicking children, little brats who throw tantrums, and often uncaring parents who let their children romp around not giving a damn about other passengers. If this is your nightmare when you get on a plane now may have come the news you've been waiting for.
In this article:
Corendon Airlines will start flying between Amsterdam and Curaçao from November 2023, using an Airbus A350-900, 432 seats in all-economy configuration, i.e., where every seat is the same.
Corendon is a Dutch company that specializes in charter flights and scheduled destinations to tourist locations, and with this new route the company has decided to reserve an area of the plane reserved for adults.
Did you get your flight cancelled, miss your connection, land late?
You could get up to 600€ compensation per person
The decision then is to dedicate the front of the A350 to passengers over 16 years old. The section between door 1 and 2 of Airbus' flagship will be reserved solely for passengers who want to travel quietly. This is a total of 102 seats, including nine seats with extra legroom, i.e., those near the emergency exits, and 93 standard seats.
Obviously those who decide to sit in these seats will have to pay extra, on the contrary those who decide not to pay will be mathematically certain to sit in an area full of children. You will then have the option of paying 45 euros one way, extra which rises to 100€ if you want to opt for the extra-space seats.
"On board our flights we always try to meet the different needs of our customers. We are also the first Dutch airline to introduce the Only Adult zone, because we address trying to appeal to travelers who are looking for a little extra peace and quiet during their flight. We also believe that this can have a positive effect on parents traveling with young children. They can enjoy the flight without worrying if their children make more noise." This is how Atilay Uslu, founder of Corendon Airlines, describes this initiative.
