American Airlines will start selling middle seats again as airlines bet that customers won't care about social distancing in flight
American will still require masks on board, and said it will expand its disinfection initiative on planes. It will also allow customers to switch to an emptier flight, if possible.It may be a little bit harder to snag an empty middle seat next to you on your next flight.
The airline had been limiting capacity on flights and blocking passengers from choosing middle seats in the name of social distancing since April. Delta, however, has said it will cap flights at until at least the September 30, blocking middle seats in economy, and every other seat in first class. The airline has said it will add additional flights to routes where demand outpaces the limited capacity.
Airlines and industry representatives, including the International Air Transport Association, have argued that social distancing on flights is not necessary, due to air flow patterns on planes, High Efficiency Particulate Air filters that prevent microbes in the air from recirculating, other cleaning measures, and the use of masks.
