Quiet Zone on AirAsia X Flights

The Quiet Zone on AirAsia X Flights is a new product that the airline recently launched in February 2012. This means, there is an allocated area in the front of the plane which is child-free.

There are a total of about 63 seats dedicated to this zone too. Recently, I visited Korea on an AirAsia X flight from Kuala Lumpur in mid-February and was booked in this zone.

As I frequently travel around Asia, I expected the worst as it was indeed a budget airline. The flight was scheduled to take off around 1.30am and arrive in Seoul at 8.30am local time.

This meant after boarding, food service and so on, I would be able to catch about five hours of sleep and based on my past experiences flying long haul, I would always be awakened by some kid kicking the back of my seat or some baby crying five seats in the front.

This time, I was speechless as I slept like a baby for five whole hours until we arrive at Inchon Airport. Even with a full flight, I was unawakened for that entire duration.

Another bonus is that you can also book the Empty Seat Option or ESO in the quiet zone, giving you the entire row of three chairs to make your own personal bed.

Think about how peaceful your flight will be with this additional service. If it was a 5-6 hour flight, I would most definitely book this for my future trips.
