You know those airplane seatbelts with an awkward amount of padding on one side? Apparently they are airbags!

I was sitting here waiting to take off and had to look that up. The reason for using them is also fascinating.

  Delta this morning, pretty sure I've seen them on Alaska as well! They're only in first/business or the bulkhead seats.

  Out of curiosity, what airline had them? I've never seen one in the wild!
