European airline to introduce flights with kid-free zones – but it will cost you
KID-FREE flights are being offered for the first time by a European airline - but it comes as a price.
No passenger enjoys listening to a screaming baby, or dealing with a fidgety toddler beside them on-board.
But now holidaymakers can wave goodbye to those painful in-flight experiences and travel in child-free bliss.
Travellers will be able to enjoy peace and comfort from behind a solid partition of walls and curtains, separating them from the rest of the cabin.
Corendon is the first European airline to provide the unique luxury opportunity.
Atilay Uslu, Corendon founder, said the child-free zone aims to “accommodate travellers looking for extra peace during their flight.”

The founder added that parents travelling with children "can enjoy the fight without worrying if their children make a little noise".
The Turkish-owned carrier announced their Only Adult zone on flights between Amsterdam and Caribbean Island of Curacao.
It is available to anyone over 16 and begins in November.
Only Adult zones are at the front of the cabin, whereas the rest of the plane will still welcome children on-board.

Those wishing to enjoy the adult-only zone will have to fork out an extra €45 one way.
