Most major U.S. airlines, including Delta, Alaska and American, are giving passengers the option to practice social distancing 30,000 feet in the air by making the decision to no longer sell the middle seat on their flights.

Budget carrier Frontier Airlines, however, is taking a different approach: If customers don’t want anyone in the middle seat next to them, they’ll have to purchase their row’s middle seat.

The budget airline, which is based out of Denver, announced today that for as low as $39 per passenger, travelers could block out the middle seat in each row.
