UK airline Thomson, the third biggest airline in the UK, is currently planning to introduce face -to-face round table for flying families.
The photographic representation of the seating arrangement of parents and kids face-, makes Thomson a winner as such families reportedly do exist, the CNN reported.
The featured 'couple pod 'sandwiched between two seats, will serve champagne, with mood lighting is another state-of-art idea.
Thomson is also considering for the new fleet of 47 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft to be ready in the next five years and is also looking at on-board childcare services where flight attendants will be trained to engage kids with entertainments like crafts and quizzes that related to the destination.
A ''beach snack bar" may be organized in premium cabins and a zoning system will be deployed for a child-free zone for adults and the company may also introduce resort concierges on board, offering recommendations about the destination, while inflight entertainment systems will allow last-minute bookings and room upgrades.
Thomson spokeswoman told CNN that all the ideas were genuinely planned that could be introduced as the new fleet is rolled out over the next five years.
