Airlines are experimenting with child-free zones

london - George and Amal Clooney took their six month old twins on a flight to London last month. They were well prepared: the couple had taken earphones and an excuse letter for everyone in the first class, already for any inconvenience. But it is not the same everywhere, so some airline companies are now going to experiment with child-free zones.

The problem of children in first grade is a tricky one. Parents often buy airline tickets for the first class in order to have more space for their children. On the other hand, other passengers without koters take tickets for the first class in order not to sit next to crying children.

A first step would be to distribute earplugs, because not everyone has headphones from George Clooney. Parents must be well prepared for a flight when the children go along. And then the first or second class does not really matter.

Most airlines have no rules concerning children in first class (except Malaysia Airlines, who do not allow children there). Now there are some companies that take 'measures' that are good for everyone on the plane.

For example, according to Fox News, Etihad offers a 'flying babysitter' on long flights. These keepers must ensure that the children are entertained during flights and also to 'assist' the parents. They try to help the children to get to sleep and continue playing with hand puppets, doing magic tricks and painting 'faces' on the children.

The Indian airline company IndiGo has previously created a 'quiet zone' where children under the age of 12 are not allowed. Richard Branson once said that he would like to have a 'child class' in his Virgin planes. 'A separate cabin where the children can play with babysitters. '
