Are airlines afraid of the number 13?


Posted at 1:38 pm by Michelle Dunlop

It's Friday the 13th.

That led Airline Reporter's David Parker Brown to look into airlines' (and passengers') superstitions about the number 13.

He found several airlines, including Air France, Continental, Ryanair and Air New Zealand, do not have a 13th row.

Airlines aren't alone in shunning things numbered 13. Many hotels also refrain from using "13" for floor levels.
