Would YOU pay extra to travel on a child-free flight? Airline divides opinion as it launches adults-only section where babies and kids are BANNED from the rest of the aircraft

I don’t care about a kid. Get me there on time and comfortably first.

Kids or babies being on a plane are rarely if ever a nuisance but a fool and his money are easily parted so I’m sure this little scam will work on some people.

Yeah all the videos I’ve seen of problems on airplanes are babies and toddlers. The adults need a safe space!

I learned first hand that Delta Airlines will not allow you to change seats if you're seated next to a loud or misbehaving child if the child is yours...

I could care less for flights less than 4 hours

Longer than 4 ht flights, I would pay to not have the risk of kids behind me

No, I don't think the airlines are getting their heads out of their asses because one Turkish airline offers a child-free section on flights to a Caribbean island.

If they prohibited fats from sitting in the kid section, I'd sit with the kids.

I've hit the point where I assume flights will suck, so if I'm paying I generally just go cheapest available that isn't Malaysian Airlines.

Age discrimination. If this opens the Pandora's box to size discrimination, I'm all for it.

The noise cancelling AirPods have made me not GAF what happens on planes anymore, just silence and whatever I’m watching or listening to

I would pay extra to put my kids on a separate flight.

I've never been on a flight with a problem child. Granted, I'm not flying every week or a couple times a mo th for my job, but I've flown a few times every year for 15 years or more. I've been on several flights with problem adults though. From being loud and obnoxious, to just downright nasty people with bad hygiene. I sat across the aisle from a woman who was probably over 350 a couple years back and the smell emanating from her pussy was gut wrenching.

I'd pay extra to avoid that type of shite over banning kids. Anytime.

How about more comfortable seating first? I can pop on some headphones and ignore a crying child.

I just want a flight that meets it's schedule of the ticket I buy. The regularity of canceling delaying flights is out of control.

This. Nothing like paying 100% of a ticket price for 50% of the seat.
