Where is the icon for a traveler who plans to eat a room-temperature tuna-fish sandwich?!
Rahat Ahmed tweeted a screenshot of his latest booking on the Asian airline"Thank you, Japan Airlines, for warning me about where babies plan to scream and yell during a 13-hour trip," he wrote."This really ought to be mandatory across the board."he travels frequently for work and tries to sleep on overnight flightsPerhaps most alarming, this tool removes what little privacy families have.
I've traveled with kids. I've seen the havoc they can wreak. We discovered that my toddler had motion sickness about four minutes into takeoff on a 10-hour flight. Trust me, that wasn't fun for anyone. Nor is sitting next to someone with a contagious illness, like the flu or a stomach virus , but so far, the TSA hasn't begun such screenings.
If you buy a ticket for a commercial airline, you are opting in to the risks that come with traveling in a tin tube packed with 200 to 300 perfect strangers.To be fair, Japan Airlines certainly isn't anti-family. They offer standard amenities to those traveling with children, like priority boarding, free stroller gate-check, and bottle-warming assistance.
But that doesn't mean that they haven't just kicked off what could become a dangerously intolerant new trend. If ever there was the potential for a slippery slope, it'd be when the popularity of this seat map leads to a new"coach" section of the plane, far in the back, where parents are mandated to sit. It'd be having to check a box when you book your flight if you plan to breastfeed.
Right now, this solution to the"crying baby problem" is isolated to Japan Airlines, and I pray it doesn't move stateside. But if it does go into effect, at least I'll have the aisle to myself. I don't want to sit next to people who don't want to sit next to my kid, either.
