According to the BBC, JAL has introduced a function in the online check-in system, which can display the seats of infants under the age of 2 and remind other passengers of their seat selection.
Japan Airlines has added a baby icon to the online check-in system. If passengers take a baby under the age of 2 together, once they check-in online, the baby icon will be displayed in the baby's position. Japan Airlines introduced on its official website that this icon can 'let other passengers know that there may be a baby sitting there'. However, this function is not foolproof. If passengers book tickets and check-in through third-party software, or change seats before the plane takes off, the baby icon may not be displayed.
A venture capitalist named Ahmed tweeted to thank JAL for 'warning' him where the baby was sitting. He said: 'this function should be fully enforced. Two weeks ago, I flew from New York to Doha with three screaming babies next to me.'
His remarks sparked discussion. Some people believe that this function launched by JAL is' great '.
Others called on everyone to be tolerant of babies. " We used to be babies. We need to learn tolerance. Otherwise, we also need airlines to mark snorers, drooling people, farting people and drunk people for us. "
It was also pointed out that if you think the baby is too noisy, you need a noise reduction headset.
