Ignoring the highly subjective but understandable venting here, I can report that when I recently reserved a flight to Rome for late August on Alitalia, the seating chart showed a helical or zig zag pattern of selectable seats in economy, which resulted in a loss of about 50% of usual seating options. I know the virus doesn’t respect such boundaries more than no smoking sections prevent inundation with smoke, but I thought it was a welcome gesture nonetheless.
