One in three air passengers paid extra for airline seat, reveals 12-month survey

Around one-third of all air passengers had to pay extra money for seats on a flight in the last 12 months as the free seat option was not available, according to a survey.

The survey, conducted by online platform LocalCircles, was based on 30,000 responses from individuals across 351 districts.

As per the survey, some 60 per cent of the respondents also batted for capping the number of paid seats at 30 per cent of the total seats.
