Adults Only Seats: AirAsia Offers No-Cry Zone


AirAsia has started a program to relieve some economy passengers of having to deal with little children fussing and crying in seats next to them on long-haul flights.

The adults-only sections of eight rows in economy class near the front of the aircraft will be for AirAsia X schedules including China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Australia and Nepal.

Peaceful flights in sections without kids under age 13 will have an extra price add-on that ranges from $11 to $35.50. Passengers who pay for the privilege to be in the Quiet Zone will have softer lighting and more legroom.

However, experienced fliers in the cushy seats can’t be guaranteed that some of the more frisky, aisle-roaming young passengers won’t invade their peaceful section. If you’re planning to fly to the Far East or need more information about the airline, go to airasia.com.my
Q: How Do I Find Places to Smoke When Traveling? PDF Print E-mail


I’ve been smoking for more than 50 years, and still enjoy it. However, recently I’ve found more and more of my travel destinations have become totally non-smoking. How can I deal with all the restrictions in flights, hotels, cruise ships and just about everywhere else? PJC, Atlanta GA

A: First of all, if you’ve been a smoker for so many years, and still alive ... congratulations! Seriously, the simplest situation for travel, as well as for your health, is just quit. Or at least start gradually to break the addiction by limiting yourself to a few smokes in places where it’s still permitted.

One of most effective ways to end smoking is to check with your doctor and set up an effective program. However, if you insist on puffing on your travels, just follow the rules to find smoking-permitted areas. Be sure to respect other adults and kids where smoking is totally banned.
