AirAsia X will turn first seven economy rows into child-free zones

@Long-haul budget airline, AirAsia X is following Malaysia Airlines’ lead with plans to introduce a child-free “quiet zone” on board its fleet of A330 jets.
The first seven rows in economy behind its premium class – rows 7 to 14 – will be designated as the new “quiet zone’” on board flights starting in February 2013, AirAsia X said. This section is separated from the rest of economy by a galley.
