We’ve all been there — you’re on a long flight and your child is having a meltdown, or you’re hearing another child get upset.

We’ve all been in that situation

It’s not a fun situation for anyone involved, and it could be even worse on long flights, such as international ones. Now, one airline has decided to try something new to address this situation: they’re testing child-free zones on flights.

According to USA Today, Corendon Airlines (based in Turkey) is going to test flights with a sectioned-off area for adults only. These seats in this adults-only area will cost around $108 USD, whereas the normal flight seats will cost around $49. Each flight will have nine seats in this sectioned-off area, only for passengers ages 16 and older.

On the Plane

Starting in November, the airline will be testing this new way of flying on the 10-hour journey from Amsterdam to Curaçao. The seats will be located at the front of the aircraft and will all have extra legroom as well. Walls and curtains will separate this section from the rest 0f the plane.

We’re curious about how well this will work and whether you’d still be able to hear screaming children since they’re still on the plane, just in a different section. We’ll just have to wait and see!

City at night

The new idea has been criticized by some while also being praised by both parents and childless passengers on Instagram. Could this make its way to the United States and beyond? We’ll have to see — in the meantime, check out more recent travel news below!

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is celebrated on November 1 and 2. It’s often associated with Halloween but is an entirely different holiday.

Some new “Coco” merchandise is also available at Disneyland Resort.

Will you be taking home any of this “Coco” merchandise? Let us know in the comments.

“Coco”

Pixar’s “Coco” is based on an idea by Lee Unkrich. Unkrich developed the story with Adrian Molina, Matthew Aldrich, and Jason Katz. Molina and Aldrich wrote the screenplay and Unkrich and Molina directed the film. It was produced by Darla K. Anderson.

“Coco” follows Miguel Rivera (Anthony Gonzalez), whose great-great-grandmother (Alanna Ubach) banned music from the family after her musician husband left. Obsessed with music, Miguel steals a guitar from the tomb of famed musician Ernesto de la Cruz (Benjamin Bratt) on the Day of the Dead — which accidentally lands him in the Land of the Dead, where he meets many of his deceased family members. He teams up with down-on-his-luck skeleton Héctor (Gael García Bernal) to find a way back home.
