What’s Trending: Is it fair for restaurants to charge for ‘outside drinks’...and are these new bunk beds on planes for economy passengers?

from Money Matters with Hongbin Jeong and Chua Tian Tian · host MONEY FM 89.3

A $2 charge for children drinking plain water has sparked an intense debate in Singapore. After a family was billed under a no-outside-drinks policy, a restaurant saw its Google rating plunge overnight amid a wave of online backlash. On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh unpack why opinions are so divided, and whether ‘review bombing’ is a fair form of consumer protest or a step too far.  Next up, we take to the skies. After a nightmare economy flight experience, a new idea from Air New Zealand catches our attention. The upcoming “Skynest” bunk bed concept promises real, lie-flat sleep for economy passengers… but at nearly US$500 for a few hours, is it the future of flying or just another expensive upsell?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
