Female passengers on IndiGo will now be be able to see which all seats have been pre-booked by females at the time of web check-in and accordingly select their seats if they wish to do so. This feature, the airline says, has been introduced after market research to make “travel experience more comfortable for our female passengers.”
“The feature offers visibility of seats booked by female passengers, only during web check-in. It is specifically tailored to PNRs with women travellers — solo as well as part of family bookings.… (this is) currently in pilot mode aligning with our ‘girl power’ ethos,” the airline said in a statement.
redBus predicts a 55 per cent increase in travel demand during Delhi school summer holidays. Over 1440 daily buses will serve Delhi, with top choices being Manali and Shimla. Heavy crowd is expected at key boarding points like Kashmiri Gate, Anand Vihar, Majnu Ka Tilla, Dhaula Kuan and Morigate during this period.
At the time of seat selection, the feature shows seats that have been pre-booked by female travellers. The rationale behind the move is to allow female travellers, especially if travelling solo, to pre-book a seat next to one occupied by another female for safety reasons, if they want to.
