    Everytime I see these I always take solace in one simple fact. This would never be able to pass any disability or accessibility act.

      Even for the people who would get off on that, their joy would turn to frustration when the flight attendant asked them to stop masturbating.

    How big is this cabin? I can’t stand up in current seats now, where in the world are these going to fit? Where do carry-ons go?

    I don’t absolutely hate it, but I’m 6’3", so fully stretching my legs out on a plane is always just a pipe dream.

    I’m sure they’d make them fit only average size people, unfortunately.

    No, wait. This is actually not a bad idea.

    Look closely. First of all there’s a rigid barrier between the lower and upper seat. That means that fart gasses won’t get through, unlike current seats where farts just spread everywhere around a person, so only the upper seats will be affected.

    Second, the lady has her feet up, meaning she has enough leg room to do so. This is a big advantage because you can kick your feet up on your underseat baggage while you sleep or stretch your legs. It’s much better than the current layout where you can barely move at all.

    No offense, but I think anyone with a negative opinion of this layout is wrong.
