Why aren't there adult only flights? (lemmy.world)

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.

Some people have families in far away countries. I hate to say it dude, but it's just one of those things.

No one enjoys screaming children in an enclosed space, especially not parents who already have to deal with child nonsense on a daily basis.

Maybe you don't see it, but these situations are really distressing for parents and it would serve humanity well if we could have a little empathy for them.

This is the part that I always find mind boggling. Yeah, parents who don’t parent exist, but the vast majority want the screaming to stop just as much as anybody else, if not more…
