coronavirus pandemic airlines have struggled with social distancing – but one may have the answer. Holidaymakers want to maintain social distancing in the confined space of aircraft but airlines still need to make money.Now budget carrier SpiceJet is offering a “private row” system, where travellers can pay extra to have the seats either side of them left empty.The option is being advertised with the slogan “book from window to aisle, for your safety and smile”.While you don’t have to pay full whack for the “contactless, stress-free flying experience”, the vacant seats are charged at a little over half price.The morning flight between Delhi and Mumbai tomorrow (September 24), for example, is priced at 4,305 rupees (£46) for a single.
