The Transportation Department is rolling out a new “dashboard” that lets travelers see which which airlines let families with young children sit together on flights at no extra cost.
The dashboard rewards airlines with a green check if they guarantee that an adult family member can sit next to their young children if seats are available. On Monday, only three of the 10 U.S. airlines listed on the website received a green check: Alaska, American and Frontier.
“Parents traveling with young kids should be able to sit together without an airline forcing them to pay junk fees,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said in a release announcing the dashboard.
Toblerone tweaks packaging
The makers of Toblerone are stripping images of Switzerland’s famed Matterhorn and the Swiss flag from the packaging of the milk-chocolate treat as it moves some production to Slovakia.
Deerfield, Illinois-based Mondelez International, which owns the Swiss-born brand, says it’s in the process of adapting the packaging of Toblerone products across its markets to conform with strict rules in Switzerland about how products qualify for the coveted “Swissness” moniker.
The distinctive Matterhorn will become a “modernized and streamlined mountain logo.” In June, the company announced plans to outsource production of some of its chocolates to Bratislava, the Slovak capital, where wages and the cost of living are far lower than in wealthy, expensive Switzerland.
“The redesign of the packaging introduces a modernized and streamlined mountain logo that is consistent with the geometric and triangular aesthetic,” Mondelez spokeswoman Livia Kolmitz said in an email.
