India’s largest budget carrier, IndiGo, is the first airline to trial a feature that lets female passengers book seats next to other women to avoid sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with a man in a move designed to make flying more comfortable for female passengers, according to a CNBC report.
The airline’s booking process is fairly standard except for the seat map which highlights seats occupied by women with the color pink. This information is not visible to male passengers, according to the airline, CNBC reported. IndiGo did not immediately respond to CBS MoneyWatch’s request for comment on the new feature.
I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Every woman I’ve sat next to had way too much perfume, couldn’t sit still, constantly in and out of their purse, and violently flipping through their phone and sighing heavily every 5 minutes because there was no internet. 🤷♂️
That said, no one I’ve sat next to in a 3-seat aisle knows the proper ownership of armrests.
That sounds just as bad as dudes with unwiped asses and evangelical MAGAs intruding your personal space! Poor you /s
