AirAsia are offering baby-free zones on their flights which sparks the debate, should all flights offer this facility?
The flights will not cost passengers any more than standard seats and due to the barrier created by toilets and bulkheads, AirAsia claim that they will not hear the sound of tantrums or babies crying.

Earlier this year, a survey concluded that the majority of British travellers were in favour of child-free flights. Malaysia Airlines already limit the seats available to families with children and a poll by TripAdvisor suggests that over a third of British travellers would be willing to pay extra to fly without children on board.

One argument against the flights, other than the inconvenience it could cause parents, is where to draw the line for baby-free zones. Could train companies stop babies from being allowed in the quiet zones? What about eating out? Pubs are much more children-friendly now than perhaps 20 years ago. Would this change?
