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.

I'm an adult with adult responsibilities and obligations. Occasionally I do have to be on a plane. That child's presence is almost certainly not required somewhere with such urgency that they simply must be on a plane. Also I can and do behave myself so I don't need to be justified. Babies usually can't and don't, which is why we're having this conversation in the first place

We need a travel justification board so only truly necessary air travel is authorized and approved. Nein. No babiez on ze plane

Consider it the price you pay for travel freedom.

Maybe let's chill on comparing people who don't want to be annoyed by babies on airplanes to nazis?

Yeah, fair. German speaking people however do seem to love processes and rules. I wasn't actually thinking of Nazis, just the German stereotypes.
