Budget airline launches plane with no middle seats – and there’s even free booze
AN AIRLINE has ditched the dreaded middle seat on a number of their flights – and has even thrown in some complimentary booze.
Most passengers avoid the middle seat, with the cramped section ditched in favour of the aisle or window.
However, a budget airline has launched a number of flights where you no longer have to worry about being stuck in it.
Canadian Porter Airlines uses Embraer E195-E2 planes, which work on a two by two seating arrangement.
This means you only ever have to pick between the aisle or the window seat.
And despite being a budget airline, they are including a number of extras that others often charge for.
That includes free beer and wine, as well as snacks and WiFi.
If you pay extra, you can then get extra legroom, carry on luggage, two checked-in bags, WiFi and cocktails.
The new flights launching from Toronto to San Francisco, LA and Florida.
On the website, Porter Airlines claims it wants to “elevate economy for everyone.”
The website states: “Our elevated all-economy service is designed around you, to be the best possible experience.
“Always a window or an aisle seat on every Porter flight, because we have no middle seats.
“On every flight, you are offered complimentary premium snacks, and a choice of beverages including free beer and wine served in real glassware.
“On our E195 planes, all passengers have access to free, fast Wi-Fi.”
Research has revealed why the middle seat is actually the safest place on the plane.
Conducted by the Aviation Safety Network, which analysed 65 plane crashes, found which seats were safest based on survival rates.
A middle seat towards the back of a plane was found to be the safest.
And here’s the UK airline with the cheapest snacks and booze onboard.
