Outgoes economy class and in comes ‘sardine class’.
If flying in economy wasn’t bad enough, a company has created a new type of seating plane, which sees travellers facing each other during the entire duration of the flight.
Zodiac Seat France unveiled the new seat configuration late last week naming it ‘Economy Class Cabin Hexagon’.
As you can tell by the image above, the plan has travellers still sitting side-by-side but with the middle seat facing the rear of the plane.
In other words, travellers will practically be face-to-face when flying.
If rolled out, it will make the cramped space, average meals and loud noises currently haunting economy-class passengers look like a slice of heaven.
The new seat configuration plan is the latest in a series of ideas designed to let airlines carry more people and increase profits.
Other examples include THIS and THIS.
According to industry experts, Jon Ostrower and Daniel Michaels, airlines are seeing more demand to expand their higher-fare sections, but they don’t want to lose passenger numbers.
