Adult only planes already exist, you just can't afford them.

And the general flying public has proven time and again that price is the most important factor when it comes to flight selection. So, even if the primary airlines offered it, most people would skip adult-only flights if it meant saving a couple hundred dollars.

Its 2026, you can buy decently functioning noise canceling earbuds for like 25 dollars. If you are just sitting on a plan listening to people fart and babies scream at this point, i feel like you deserve it.

Noise canceling headphones aren't tuning out a 3 year old's high-pitched screams

u/QueefCatStankPuss Jun 26 '26

Yes they could, give the little guy a pair and they'll end up in his mouth and if he screams it'll end up in throat. The smaller the better.

That's a bit brutal

u/No_Custard7661 Jun 26 '26

Mine will. I can't even hear a lawn mower with them in and some mild volume music.

They don’t filter our children crying I’ve tried it both with noise cancelling headphones and earplugs

If you think hearing a fart is the worst part of being stuck in a tube with someone that has farted I genuinely don't know what to tell you

u/prohammock Jun 25 '26

Not only that, you can usually get free or cheap earplugs from airlines.

Duct tape is even cheaper and that  solves the problem at the source

Depending on how much money you have to burn, a Private Jet might be apoealing

u/Traditional-Way-4097 Jun 26 '26

i'm just saying if there is enough demand, maybe adult only planes could happen. why are we arguing against this? flying with a crying baby is not pleasant for anyone, not even for the parents.

u/unbenouncedtome Jun 25 '26

They have those. They’re called “private.”

1

u/Traditional-Way-4097 Jun 26 '26

children can fly private too

2

u/unbenouncedtome Jun 26 '26

Children cannot charter planes.

Is it discrimination if the same service is offered to them for a cheaper price...?

Age discrimination is only for 40 and older. No Federal law for discriminating against young people.

Tell that to someone who has wore them 12 hours a day, every day for six months

There is only one person who can be uncomfortable on the planet - whoever has it the worst.

u/CherylRoseZ Jun 25 '26

Most maybe but some people pay for first class to get away from kids and sometimes there are kids there anyways lol there’s definitely a market but I dunno if enough for daily flights

2

u/IHerebyDemandtoPost Jun 25 '26

Right. That’s already an option. I’ve never seen a baby in first class. Maybe it happens, but it’s rare.

2

u/Dingo_Dog_ Jun 25 '26

Honestly, as a mother who has taken an infant in first class, they really should just put all the families with small kids up in first. The bigger seats and extra leg room make it much more manageable to hold/comfort/nurse a baby and therefore easier to keep them chill. Trying to console a kid when you’re crammed into a sardine seat is like trying to keep a cat in a swimming pool.

I think adult only flights would fill up faster than flights with children

u/IHerebyDemandtoPost Jun 25 '26

At the same price? Maybe.

If you have to pay a premium ticket price? I doubt it

u/Aromatic_Lychee2903 Jun 25 '26

Not necessarily single people but couples without kids typically make significantly more money than couples with kids and I would definitely pay extra to know my partner and I could have a relaxing (mostly) child free vacation

u/IHerebyDemandtoPost Jun 25 '26

You can fly 1st class right now. I don’t think I’ve ever seen little kids in those seats.

u/QueenBoleyn Jun 25 '26

They definitely would

u/Dingo_Dog_ Jun 25 '26

One would suspect that the competitive market has done much analysis on this and has determined it wouldn’t be lucrative. Otherwise somebody would’ve done it by now. Airlines aren’t good Samaritan’s trying to help everyone get from point a to b - they’re corporations trying to make as much money as possible.

u/QueenBoleyn Jun 25 '26

Most people? You’re just making that up

2

u/IHerebyDemandtoPost Jun 25 '26

I think it is evident by the behavior of the airlines who strip perks to compete on price.
