Pets in the Cabin - Coming soon on Virgin Australia

[Q Class Plebeian]

While they're at it, perhaps they could also alert you to and check if you mind sitting next to an obese passenger who flows into your seat? Or a smelly passenger? Or annoying passenger who won't talk? Or that passenger who is coughing up a lung.

Ah, the joys of flying,don't forget the passenger who never stops talking and crying babies.

JL has a nice feature that tells you when you're sitting next to someone with an infant. Presumably that could easily be updated to also include dogs.

Except it would require IT that isn't stuck in 2006, so, no, VA won't be doing it.

This can easily be handled on board in the very, very few cases where it happens and bothers someone. I'd bet the number of pages in this thread is higher than the number of times this has been a real issue to date on VA since launched.

I was once sitting next to a passenger who couldn't stop talking no matter how many hints I gave that I wasn't in the mood. I noticed some empty seats so I moved. He then complained to the FA about me!

Unfotunately Marley NYC wont be allowed on VA.
Seems better behaved than a lot of passengers.

Has anyone experience of this new feature?

This is the one I fear the most.
And then they bring religion into it all!

I’m not a very social person and I feel no need whatsoever to converse with a total stranger passenger in the seat next to me no matter the length of the flight. If they initiate then i will exchange niceties but that’s it. Can’t stand inane chatter.

Other people’s personalities MMV.
