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.

Supermarkets. Just put a small cage outside, you will be out in 20 minutes, the kid will be fine. It's not like parents actually need their kids to scream that they want ice cream when shopping. I definitely don't need to hear it.

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?

North American detected, you bunch of helicopter parents.

This completely ruins my plan of training the children to do the shopping for me so I can just go sit in the cafe until it's time to pay.

[–] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why can't you train the children to pay?

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

But then I'd have to do all the shopping!
