JetBlue is testing something travelers have debated for years: Flights without children
For parents looking to leave the kids behind at home —or adults wishing not to share a flight with a screaming baby—a new partnership is giving travelers an experience they have long craved, however divisive it might be: a completely child-free travel experience.

JetBlue Vacations and Virgin Voyages have teamed up to offer a unique travel experience called "Do Not Disturb," which is a completely child-free getaway for four nights. This new package is aimed at adults who wish to avoid sharing their flight or cruise with children, despite the potential divisiveness of such an arrangement. Jamie Perry, President of Paisly, which manages JetBlue Vacations, stated that the company wanted to create a getaway that allows adults to truly disconnect before they even step onto the ship.
The "Do Not Disturb" experience will commence on March 4 to 8, departing from New York's JFK airport to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport via a JetBlue roundtrip flight, specifically designated as child-free. Passengers will then be given ground transportation to PortMiami, where they'll enjoy priority boarding for Virgin Voyages' Brilliant Lady ship for a child-free cruise.
To enhance the child-free experience, travelers will be treated to special activities such as an in-flight toast, a private welcome party on the ship, and a $100 Bar Tab per cabin.
Tickets for the "Do Not Disturb" package go live on Oct. 21, priced at $2,750 for two people and can be booked on the JetBlue Vacations website. Additionally, ten fortunate travelers will receive a $50 onboard credit for indulgences like mud baths or Shore Things, which are part of Virgin Voyages' carefully curated experiences. Nirmal Saverimuttu, CEO of Virgin Voyages, expressed excitement about finally making the kid-free journey from takeoff to sail away a reality for people.
