Terrible Airline Seating of the Future!

And no snacks, either.

And lavatory so small you can’t turn around in it.

They’ve gotten rid of snacks you would want years ago

Supposedly, planes are already so crowded and bad at circulating air that you shouldn’t have peanuts because someone 20 seats behind you might have an allergy attack. I’m sure this design won’t cause any similar issues. :confused:

Nah! Two toilets, one above the other!

My dear wife needed to be rescued from an MRI machine because it was too closed in for her.
I’m sure she will have air marshals escorting her off the plane screaming before we ever get to the runway from the gate.

To be fair, MRIs are really claustrophobic. I don’t normally have claustrophobia and I was close to panic during my MRI. The fact that you are not supposed to move a muscle doesn’t help. MRIs are really not fun.

Are we sure this whole thing isn’t just trolling cooked up by the airlines, so that when they reveal their real do-over (like replacing the aisle with an alligator-filled moat) we’ll just sigh and accept it?

I’m pretty sure this is all a false-flag campaign by the railroad industry.

Curses! Amtrak! They’re always putting their sinister fingers in everybody’s pies!

I think the new Amtrack seating plan is pretty translatable to plane travel.
You just have to hold on a little tighter.

Seriously though, even though they can sometimes be painfully slow, when it comes to comfort, Amtrak is miles above any airline I’ve been on.

It doesn’t even matter if they eat at Del Taco; air travel by itself promotes flatulence:

So yes, you are DEFINITELY getting farted on.

Well if it’s Boeing they’d do this and just install a software patch to make it “flyable”

No thank you, murder machine

I look at it very simply, from an early age I have had ongoing issues with motion sickness, and I find one of the best way to combat it is just being able to relax. Now as far as flying goes, I find that normally means getting a window seat, as I find being able to see outside easily helps with relaxing.

The downside is asking anyone in the row with me to get out of the way when I do need to get up, not so bad when family/friends but a hassle when someone you don’t know decides to take a nap. (must be nice, never been able to sleep on planes.)

With this set up as soon as I saw the picture, I thought getting up is going to be a pain and a half. Even before reading the article. And I can only imagine the extra “incidences” some (especially younger passengers) will have when they really “have to go”.

This is even stupider than I thought. When you actually go into the article, there’s a picture of it from another angle and the upper level has no leg room at all! What is the point?

Lower Deck: may be more leg space, no recline option???
Upper Deck: no leg space but potential recline???
