Let this idea catch on. And not just with airlines either. Restaurants, movie theaters, basically anywhere that kids go and parents are too lazy to control them.

Bro, universal kid ban. No more kids anywhere, problem solved.
As a supporter of the voluntary human extinction movement, I agree.
Yes fucking please.
Supermarkets. Just put a small cage outside, you will be out in 20 minutes, the kid will be fine. It's not like parents actually need their kids to scream that they want ice cream when shopping. I definitely don't need to hear it.
That's the dumbest idea I've seen all day. Like, seriously. That's basically begging for kids to be kidnapped from there.
Who would want to kidnap a kid? They are useless, cost a lot of money and if you want one you can just make one easily.
Can you confirm that you are being sarcastic? I found this answer very funny, but in the second thought, I feared that this was in fact not sarcastic and that I would upvote something wrongly 😅
Of course I'm being sarcastic.

The local IKEA where I grew up had an area near the entrance where parents could leave their kids while shopping.
It had like a ballpit, slides and stuff to climb. It was pretty neat.
I'd be more surprised if there is an IKEA that doesn't have a Småland. Like meatballs, it's kind of their thing right?
North American detected, you bunch of helicopter parents.
This completely ruins my plan of training the children to do the shopping for me so I can just go sit in the cafe until it's time to pay.
Why can't you train the children to pay?
But then I'd have to do all the shopping!
Apparently they used to have soundproof rooms in the back of nice movie theaters where u could take your crying child and still enjoy the movie...as much as possible
I dunno, nine "XL" seats separated by a curtain sounds more like orgy class than noise-free zone
There will be walls and curtains separating the “Only Adult” zone from the rest of the plane, making it ideal for travelers without children and business travelers who “want to work in a quiet environment,” according to a press release.
As if the flimsy curtain is going to do anything, haha. You could technically have a baby as close as the row behind that. And you can already hear babies crying from across the plane anyways, especially as we trend towards smaller, more efficient planes like the 737 max and extended range 320s.
This isn't on smaller single aisle planes though, they're doing this on an Airbus A350. On these planes there's a galley between the front seated section and the rest of the plane, with another section before coach. So there's a bit more than just a curtain.
Fucking finally!
I often book super early or late flights on purpose, they're normally cheaper and typically don't have any kids on them.
mile high club soon to no longer be an unlockable achivement.
