Travelers who dislike sitting nearby infants and children during flights may have a new adults-only section of the airplane to enjoy all to themselves.

Corendon Airlines will begin testing out a new premium, adults-only zone for travelers sixteen and above beginning this November on flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao.

The carrier, which is Turkish, announced that the zone will offer 93 regular seats and 9 extra-legroom seats for purchase, with a curtain separating the zone from the rest of the cabin.

According to ABC News, the airline is adding an extra fee of 45 euro, or US$49 for the regular seats in the adults-only zone.

Some travelers are likely to choose to pay extra for the benefit of being further from the potential disturbances that children on airplanes can create, especially on a flight that takes ten hours, such as the route from Amsterdam to Curaçao.

While other airlines across the globe have participated in trials like this one, they haven’t been successful long-term.
