Anyone who have experienced a long-haul flight knows how it can get to be a pain in the butt (literally!). You spend almost all of your time in that flight on your seat eating, drinking, sleeping, relaxing, chatting, or working. Long-haul flights can get boring, and even the expensive business class ones are no exception.
Enter Airbus’ new “Settee Corner” chair, offering couch-style airplane seating, with the usual business class features.
From CNN:
The new airplane seat premiered at the Aircraft Interiors Expo 2019 (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany, attracting buzz from passengers and airlines alike.
On these new seats, fliers can recline, lounge-style, just like on a couch at home. They can be joined by a traveling partner for an aperitif and to enjoy the in-flight entertainment.
And when it’s time to sleep, they just lie down on the seat, no mechanisms needed.
Aside from promoting a more comfortable way of air travel, the new style also is 30-50% lighter than the traditional style.
