I don’t know about you but I hate being stuck in the middle of two seats when I’m on a plane. There’s no pretty view and there’s no easy bathroom access. There’s nothing to rest your head on and if you don’t know the two people and they aren’t keen for a chat it’s just you, your book or the in-flight entertainment system up for a good time.
One new revolutionary airplane seating design promises to change seats – for economy passengers, not just business class – forever!
The initial design has been around for some time but industry publication Skift believes the radical design was too much for airlines when it first came on the scene. Now, however, airlines are looking for innovative ways to improve comfort without having to reduce the number of passengers they can carry.
Etihad and Air New Zealand both created similar designs a few years ago but nothing this uniform or standard.
Thomson designed the new Qantas business class seats found for its Airbus A330 aircraft. The leather-clad seats convert into a two-metre (79-inch) fully flat bed with plenty of legroom. Last month Thomson was named as a finalist in the Australian Good Design Awards 2015 for the Qantas seats.
These seats give you a place to rest your head, privacy and the unique feeling of being somewhere quite spacy!
So take a look at the pics below, tell us, would you prefer flying like this? Do you think it would make air travel more comfortable? Share your thoughts in the comments below…
