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.

Parents are mortified when their kids are screaming on a flight. They didn't want this either.

A good pair of earplugs (e.g. loop) can help tremendously.

e.g. loop

Or a pair of non-meme plugs that's designed to actually block all noise. Mack's Ultra Soft are quite excellent.

You knew what I meant. But ok.
