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.

Okay but then men are allowed to fart openly and take our shirts off in the no-women section while they drink chamomile tea and read thought provoking books about how they are okay just the way they are.

Are men allowed to buy a ticket to not sit around nude farting men

[-] Makhno@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

No. It's a rite of passage.

Yes, it's called business. They fart fully clothed.

You can have that, but only if you let the women take their shirts off and fart openly too.
