An adult only section on airlines/flights

Wishful_Thinker

I would just like to add my vote to have an Adult only section on all flights. It seems it is mainly people with children who object to this concept.

What would happen over the wings section? Would the noise magically drop out of the air waves or something?

I am one of the most easily irritated people on the planet, according to my family, but even I twigged long ago that if you get a decent book, some in-ear headphones and, when you want to snooze, a decent blackout mask, all else is irrelevant. Even the longest flight is do-able, especially when you remember why you're up there, where you're going and the fact that once you get beyond the baggage carousel, the sobbers will be out of your life until the return flight, as you whirl away to your glamorous, child-free destination and the first gin of the holiday.

None that I have not shared before and on the basis that God created noise reducing headphones for flights, before I voted to have adult only sections I'd have sections for the following.

1. Dustbin swallowers with a BMI in excess of 30.
2. People with halitosis.
3. People with personal hygeine issues.
4. Boring people.
5. People who cannot enjoy the free gratis drinks trolley without making an rrrse of it.
6. Smokers with that unmistakable scent of a crack wh0res sofa (allegedly).
7. People who don't realise that the armrest between me and them is MINE.

Sounds like your the mistaken one. A row of 3 seats has 4 armrests. Which seat owns the 4th one?

As a parent I wouldn't object to this at all.

I would much rather be in a families section which would mean I wouldn't be so worried about my children making a reasonable amount of noise.
For the same reason I would choose family-friendly restaurants, etc...

I'd rather see adult only sections with under 10's being placed in a special section.

Obviously Tojo does. He's in the middle and has one on either side of him

I was assuming with his use of the word 'people' that he was talking about more than one person, but I will take what you are saying on board.

Of course, it doesn't really matter where he sits - if an armrest is between him and another person he says it is his therefore he always has two, ergo the other two people only ever get one.

Of course, he could ignore the unshared one - but I doubt that he does.

People = Fellow travellers.

For what it is worth, I am aisle seat all the way, preferably with the aisle to my right and no AVOD/IFE box at my feet.

Middle seats are my worst nightmare but easily avoided with careful planning.

Fly with a newer carrier if you dont want the AVOD box at your feet. The newer IFE systems dont need them...
