//......Singapore Airlines’ new ScootinSilence class (or what we might call the Snarlers’ Section), which aims to accommodate people who can’t tolerate even the possibility of being seated near the chaos of youth. The “upgrade,” now available on the airline’s budget carrier, Scoot Airlines, guarantees passengers cabin mates over the age of 12 for a mere $14. Located just behind the business section, it offers 41 seats, in rows 21 to 25, featuring a 35-inch seat pitch — four more inches than coach seats — so grumpy grown-ups can lean back and enjoy their flight child free. Scoot’s move comes on the heels of rival AirAsia X’s recently introduced Quiet Zone, a seven-row section that excludes children under 12, and Malaysia Airlines’ baby-free first class and upper deck sections. AirAsia X’s zone is home to “minimal noise with no disturbances” and “special ambient lighting,” the airline says on its Web site, “because we know that sometimes all you need is some peace and quiet for a more pleasant journey with us.”//
