Corendon Airlines is testing the “Only Adult” zones on flights between Amsterdam and Curaçao starting in November.

This area will be located at the front of the Airbus A350-900 aircraft and consists of nine XL seats with additional legroom and 93 standard seats.

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.

You know that pressure changes in an air plane are painful for children?

They're painful for babies. You can teach a child how to pop their ears. We all learned at some point.

Not all children are babies. Saying "it hurts human ears" would also be correct, but disingenuous.

This type of nitpicking is what I'm looking for in a good internet discussion. Thanks.
