One of the biggest variables when flying, is the company that you ’re forced to keep. Whether you’re in economy or business, aisle or window, there will almost always be someone sitting next to you—and if that person is particularly flirtatious, odoriferous, anxious or loud, your experience could be drastically altered
But with recent upgrades allowing noise-conscious passengers to choose a seat away from children, having at least one type of less-than-desirable seatmate could soon be a thing of the past.
Last week, Scoot airlines, the budget subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, announced that seats in child-free areas, dubbed the "ScootinSilence" rows, can now be booked for a small fee. The section is an updated set of restrictions on their premium economy product; in addition to extra leg room and a better seat pitch, you are also liberated from having to sit with children 12 and under.
"Just as there are some people who prefer to travel without checked baggage, or to sleep rather than eat... there are some who would rather travel with adults. We ’re simply providing the option to do so," said Scoot Airlines CEO Campbell Wilson.
In September 2012, AirAsia X launched a similar service in their premium economy cabin, and Malaysian Airlines has a similar policy on the upper-deck economy cabin of its A380 jumbo jet, which it flies on selected long-haul routes.
The trend seems to be catching on quickly in Asia, perhaps because culturally the region places a premium on the wealthier business savvy class and is eager to please affluent customers.
"The reality is that the companies, people and culture of Asia are actually a little bit less politically sensitive in certain areas than places like America," said Jonathan Galaviz, airline analyst and managing director at Galaviz & Company. "The practicality of Asia is one of the things that makes it unique in the world. Many people enjoy that."
But could child-free zones spread around the world? Not necessarily.
"I don’t think that we’ll ever see child-free zones on US carriers, any more than we’ll see the return of smoking zones. In the politically correct United States, it would be considered discriminatory to exclude passengers with kids from certain cabin sections," said George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com.
The issue that Western airlines will need to consider is the strong consumer voice, which could create a significant and harmful image problem for the carriers. In Asia, that community is neither as loud nor as vociferous. Disrupting the consumer base and any potential discrimination litigation that would follow may create risks that Western carries aren’ t willing to take. [br] According to the passage Asia people______.
选项
A、are less politically sensitive
B、are not very practical
C、don’ t like to seat with children
D、prefer silence
答案
A
解析
细节题。本题考查的是亚洲人的特点,可以定位到文中的“The reality isthat the companies,people and culture of Asia are actually a little bit less politicallysensitive in certain areas than places like America,”said Jonathan Galaviz,airlineanalyst and managing director at Galaviz&Company.从这里可以看出亚洲人对于政治不是那么敏感,所以A项符合。B项讲亚洲人不实际与文中“The practicality ofAsia is one of the things that makes it unique in the world.Many people enjoy that.”相矛盾,所以不对。C项讲亚洲人不喜欢小孩显然不对。D项讲亚洲人更喜欢无小孩的座位安静也不够准确,一部分怕吵的人不代表所有人都爱安静。因此,正确答案是A。
