Honestly, I will never wrap my head around how people can happily bring infants on any flight where you can expect people to try and sleep, it’s incredibly lucky if they don’t spend some of it screaming their heads off—I would be mortified if my choices were preventing hundreds of people from sleeping. But I’m not going to rant too hard about that.
Why on earth hasn’t any airline started marketing adult-only flights?
It seems like a complete no brainer to me, I would choose it every time and pay extra for it.
Disclaimer: I may or may not be on a 36h day with only an hour of sleep right now
The entitlement is on your side my friend. Only someone who prioritizes themselves, literally, over every other passenger could possibly think it’s them who are entitled.
Also, it’s commonly recognized that some sources of noise cause unpleasant emotions. For some, like me, it’s actually painful (google “misophonia”).
We share this planet and there have to be a million examples where we moderate our own behavior in consideration of others. Be one of those examples. Or don’t, but live knowing the rest of us hate you.
Edit: Glorious responses all. Thanks for cussing at me, calling what I said ridiculous, and generally showing your inner Neanderthals. Classy. I know better than to argue with randos on the internet, so believe whatever you want. I guess it’s not surprising you don’t treat others as human beings.
By the way, airlines do think your hell spawn is a nuisance. And they are creating adult only sections on their flights. So blow it out your ass where the rest of your ideas come from.

This is patently rediculous. Babies exist. They cry. They will be out in the public space. I personally think people should not have babies at this point in history but they do, they will, and thinking its entitlement that people with kids will have them with them is again, redic.
Fuck off. OP wanted a way to avoid children while traveling on a public mode of transport. There’s no box to tick to make that happen. Children and parents have the same rights to make use of air travel as anyone else. Tough shit. Kids exist. You were once one, maybe still are.
I said I booked the most direct option, not the cheapest. Yes, of course I’m the entitled one here.
So because you have trouble with noise, parents should be stuck at home until their children are old enough to be certain they won’t make noise in public? Kids have the right to just exist and go places, for fuck’s sake. Their parents’ lives don’t just pause while the kids grow up, they still want, and sometimes need, to go places, and those places being sometimes far, may have to be reached by plane. What are you expecting them to do, exactly?
