Qantas Passengers Can Now Buy ‘Neighbour-Free’ Seats For As Little As $30 If You Need Ur Space

Flying is probably one of the most uncomfortable forms of transport for most people. You’re squished up like sardines in a metal flying contraption that’s a thousand feet in the sky with nowhere to go, leaving you with aching butt cheeks. Well, for passengers who chose to fly with Qantas, the pain of aching bums and congestion is about to become a thing of the past. Recently, the Aussie airline announced a “neighbour-free” program — AKA Extra Seat for Personal Comfort program (EXST) — which allows passengers in economy to book the seat next to them in order to maximise their comfort during their travels. “Customers can purchase extra seat/s on Qantas operated and marketed flights for their personal comfort,” the airline stated.
