I don’t think I’d mind on a flight shorter than an hour to sit like this on a plane. If you live where you use any other public transport, some busses, trains, subways make use of this configuration. And there’s an (unspoken) etiquette for using such (usually). Any trip longer, I would require xanex before boarding. (I never had occasion to do so, but I’m pretty sure I would find “coach” really difficult on a cross-country non-stop, let alone a trans-global trip. First-class, even, would be a chore.) I’m with Ross, though, it sure looks pretty in the picture.
They wouldn’t need a food trolley. Just a roomba, distributing the kool aid.
Lousy design. Backs to the windows? Where does the hand luggage go: under those narrow stooly chairy things, spilling out onto the tiny little aisle? What if somebody has a jacket? Or a child? A baby? A magazine?? Load of cock.
Also, this business of cheap fares is a coverup. You can still travel across Europe for 20 euros return if you buy your ticket at the right time.
It looks pretty nice and modern until you picture people in it (bumping knees) , people ruin everything
It seems to me that the only thing worse than sitting next to a stranger for a flight is to stare a stranger in the face for a flight.
Pass.

reminds me of the most poorly conceived part of (the film) ’2000: a space odyssey’ – the shuttle to the monolith:
suuuuure, big time execs are gonna sit on those nasty, hard 50′s failed kitchenette chairs all the way to titan, suuuuuure they are.
not gonna do that even to oakland.
i swear…designers.
