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.

      2 times had different guys that smelled weirdly like literal shit, one time ranting about dumb maga shit like he thought he could convert me, the other one just being all around invasive and reaching over me to point both air things at him and adjust the window multiple times without asking.

        I’ve had the exact opposite experience. Every woman I’ve sat next to had way too much perfume, couldn’t sit still, constantly in and out of their purse, and violently flipping through their phone and sighing heavily every 5 minutes because there was no internet. 🤷‍♂️

        That said, no one I’ve sat next to in a 3-seat aisle knows the proper ownership of armrests.
