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.

This part obviously isn't true, or else you would have paid for First or Business class. There's no guarantee that the expensive seats are kid-free, but it's much more likely. They'll give you free booze, too.

When I last flew international, my mum took business and the rest of us took economy. There was no noise on economy, but crying babies in business. The reason OP won't pay extra for that is probably because there is no guarantee at all that it will be any quieter. It is not the same thing as what they want.

Home alone did it right, parents in the front kids in the back

Well I paid up from economy, but that wasn't enough apparently, the free booze helps but as you say it's no guarantee.
