Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Indian airline gives female travelers option to choose seats next to
other women
Nowadays, airplane passengers are given the option to choose their
seats with or without a fee. But until recently, you never know who will be sitting
next to you until you sit in your assigned or chosen seat. For female passengers
in India, where they are often harassed or even assaulted during flights, it is
often worrisome to sit next to male passengers. So, one of India’s largest
airlines came up with a new feature that allows female passengers to see if
they are sitting next to male passengers online. They can then choose to change
their seats to where other women are sitting next to them. The airline is
trying to make the travel experience more comfortable for its female
passengers. Usually, airplane seats are segmented by airfare. Then does seat segmentation by gender or group sound too segregating?
Read the article and learn about a new seat option offered by India’s leading
low-cost carrier.
