Sick of nightmarish flight neighbors? This airline lets you bid on the seats near you

Flying can be stressful, especially when you have disruptive seatmates invading your personal space, striking up awkward conversations, or getting in the way of your super long nap.

Etihad Airways — the second largest airline in the United Arab Emirates —gets that, and has come up with a solution: a “Neighbour-Free Seat.” 

The concept allows a passenger to bid on up to three empty seats (!!!) on their flight, provided they’re adjacent to the already booked seat. Who needs first class when you’ve got an entire row to yourself, right?
