Corendon Airlines is testing the “Only Adult” zones on flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao starting in November.

This area will be located at the front of the Airbus A350-900 aircraft and consists of nine XL seats with additional legroom and 93 standard seats.

There will be walls and curtains separating the “Only Adult” zone from the rest of the plane, making it ideal for travelers without children and business travelers who “want to work in a quiet environment,” according to a press release.

That's the dumbest idea I've seen all day. Like, seriously. That's basically begging for kids to be kidnapped from there.

Who would want to kidnap a kid? They are useless, cost a lot of money and if you want one you can just make one easily.

Can you confirm that you are being sarcastic? I found this answer very funny, but in the second thought, I feared that this was in fact not sarcastic and that I would upvote something wrongly 😅

Of course I'm being sarcastic.

The local IKEA where I grew up had an area near the entrance where parents could leave their kids while shopping.

It had like a ballpit, slides and stuff to climb. It was pretty neat.

I'd be more surprised if there is an IKEA that doesn't have a Småland. Like meatballs, it's kind of their thing right?
