Kulabo abahamba ngeintsana - ngamatekithi okanye njengabantwana abathintekayo - ii-airways zase-US zinemithetho eyahlukileyo yokuphatha indlela abaphethe ngayo impahla. Kubantwana abathintekayo kunye nabantwana abaselula, bafumana isibonelelo sempahla (ehlawulelwayo kunye nehlawulwa) abantu abadala abahlawulayo. Kodwa imigaqo-nkqubo ishintshana nezingane zokukhupha. Ngezantsi zikho imigaqo-nkqubo kwiintlanu ezintlanu eziphathekayo zaseMelika.
American Airlines. Abantwana abanokuthi bangabahlali kwisihlalo bavunyelwe ukuba nebhegi enye kwizinga lokuqala lokuhlawula imali (i-$ 25) yomntu omdala ohamba naye. Isikhwama sesibini si $ 35. Abazali banokungenisa isihlalo sokukhusela esivunyiweyo okanye ukukhatyathwa komntwana, umgcini we-umbrella kunye nebhedi ye-diaper. Abazali abakwazi ukuvelisa ukwandiswa kwebhanti kumntwana onamathele kumzali, iinqanawa, iintambo okanye nayiphi na enye into yokunqanda umntwana obeka umntwana kwiphantshi okanye esifubeni somntu omdala. Abantwana abangabandakaliyo abahlali kwisihlalo abafumani isibonelelo sempahla, kodwa abazali bangakwazi ukuzisa isihlalo sokukhusela esivunyiweyo, umqhubi we-umbrella kunye nebhedi ye-diaper.
Delta Air Lines. Phatha abantwana abahamba ngokukhululeka bangafumani isibonelelo somthwalo. Esikhundleni salo, imithwalo yabo ibalwa ngokubhekiselele kwisibonelelo sempahla yomzali. Abantwana abahamba ngetikiti zamazwe ngamazwe angama-10 ekhulwini kunye neendleko ezindala banokukhangela ibhagi enye ukuya kwi-20 lbs, kunye nomnye uhlolisise umgcini ohambayo okanye umsihlalo. Ukuba ithikithi ingama-50 ekhulwini okanye ngaphezulu komntu omdala, abantwana bafumana isibonelelo sempahla esesigxina, ngeendleko ze-$ 25 kwisikhwama sokuqala kunye ne-$ 35 yesibini.
United Airlines. I-lap abantwana abanikezwa isibonelelo sempahla. Abantwana abanamathikithi athengiweyo, isibonelelo sempahla ye-baggage ye-$ 25 kwisikhwama sokuqala kunye ne-$ 35 yesibini. kubantwana abanamathikithi athengiweyo, kuquka nabantwana abahambahamba ngamazwe ngama-10 ekhulwini lomntu omdala. I-airline nayo iyakwamukela iibhegi ze-diaper, iipompu zengxube kunye nezihlalo zezingane ezivunyiwe zikarhulumente kubantwana nokuba ziyabaleka ngaphandle okanye zithengiswa.
Southwest Airlines. Lo msebenzi we-Dallas-based usebenze itekline "Iifake Fly Free" ilitye lekhonkco yenkonzo yalo - kodwa kungekhona kubantwana abathintekayo. Kodwa nguyena kuphela ophetheyo kuleluhlu olunika abantwana abahambayo. Abazali banokuzisa isihlalo somntwana esivunywe nguRhulumente, naluphi na uhlobo lwesigxina, iipompo zesifuba kunye neengxowa ze-diaper. Inqwelo yeenqwelo-moya inikezela ngesikhwama sokuhlala esikhwameni sephepha / isitrato sokuthenga ukuthenga nayiphi na into nayiphi na itayiti le-Southwest Airlines.
- JetBlue. Abazali abaneengcambu zomntwana bangenisa isikhwama esisodwa se-diaper, umqhubi omnye kunye nesitulo esinye senqwelo; abafumani imali yesibonelelo esinikezelwa kubagibeli abahlawula ngokugcwele. Ukuba isihlalo somoto sihlolwe, i-airline ayiyi kubalwa njengenye yeengxowa zomzali kwaye akukho ntlawulo. Kodwa i-airline ihlawula iipopi zokudlala kunye nezinye iibhedi zentsana. Iipompo zesifuba kunye neengxowa ze-diaper zikhululekile ekuthwaleni izibonelelo zesikhwama.
