The Rather Half-Baked Idea to Sell Half an Airline Seat

Photo Caption: Malaysia Airlines is at the forefront of social seating using social media profiles through its MHBuddy (at left) Facebook app. But, what if airlines did something of the opposite and sold half-seats to passengers who already have a full seat, and don't want anyone crowding in next to them? One travel agency is pushing that idea.
Skift Take
We're not betting that selling half-seats will happen any time soon, but the idea is something worth sitting back and wishing for the next time you can smell what your seatmate had for dinner.
