TOKYO: Fed up with finding yourself next to a screaming child on a long-haul flight?The facility, offered as part of Japan Airlines’ “Smile Support” travel service for those with infants, is not new, but lit up the internet after a Twitter user praised it.
“Thank you, @JAL_Official_jp for warnings me about where babies plan to scream and yell during a 13 hour trip. This really ought to be mandatory across the board,” venture capitalist Rahat Ahmed tweeted.At least one other Japanese airline does the same: All Nippon Airways , where a spokeswoman confirmed its seat maps have shown where children are sitting “for a while”.
JAL’s maps indicate where infants under two are sitting, with a child icon to let “other passengers know”.“Answered prayers”, airline specialist site The Points Guy titled a post on the subject.Another called the map an unnecessary offering. “Japan Airlines seat map helps avoid screaming babies. Why not just have noise cancelling headphones?!”“Can we use the same software to avoid people who eat noisily instead?” one Twitter user asked.
“Will airlines also have maps for obnoxious passengers that drink too much, remove their shoes, hog the armrest or recline in my lap?” added another.“Ironically chose to sat next to several babies on my two flights: Some great, some loud. It happens. Some adults were worse,” he tweeted.
