The airline warns passengers about babies in the vicinity when they book a seat

If you don't feel like crying out from children on the plane, you can have an airline show you where people with babies are sitting.

The tool creates mixed feelings.

When booking a seat on an airplane, you usually don't know who you will be sitting next to - unless friends and family have booked the seat next to it.

However, since 2019 the airline Japan Airlines has been offering a service that allows customers to check whether a seat “may have a child”.

A

baby symbol

is then displayed

in the booking tool

.

However, the feature only works if customers book directly on the airline's website.

After the Canadian TV show “Breakfast Television” last took up this function as a topic of a discussion, the tool is now on everyone's lips again.

On Twitter, viewers were asked: "What do you think of that?"

Baby symbol in the booking tool: top or flop?

As can be seen in the comments on the tweet, many users consider the function in the booking tool to be a “good idea”.

For example, one person writes, “I love this!

It would give many people a more comfortable flight ”.

Or: “I would even pay more for it.

I love children, but I was a single mother of three and I traveled a lot when they were young to regain strength and relax.

I don't want a child next to me.

That's why I only choose resorts where only adults are allowed. "

The baby symbol is automatically displayed in the tool when booking passengers who are

traveling

with

children between eight days and two years of age

.

One user doesn't think it's so successful: “It's funny, because it's usually a dream to travel with children between eight days and two years of age.

Only when they become two does all the fun begin! "

Japan Airlines offers passengers the ability to see when they're booking a seat beside a child between the ages of eight days and two years old 👶 After a baby is booked on a flight, a symbol appears on their seat online.

What do you think of this?
