Just when you thought flying couldn't get any worse

Evil plane seat design would ruin whatever good remains of air travel

Man, I don't think I could travel like this, even for free.

How I regard the matter...

evey time I grudgingly board an aircraft.

August · 07-13-15, 10:30 AM

I wouldn't do it.

Getting through security is PITA enough and they want to add this insult to that injury!?

If they're that desperate to save space and add the maximum number of passengers to their flying cigar tubes...

Why not pack them in standing up... like cattle?

That should get everyone moooving.

If they really, really want to go economy class, just buy c-130's with troop seats.

Look like something Ryan air would invent

Wolferz · 07-13-15, 11:07 AM

Quantas will be putting their seats on the ceiling........
So everyone is upright when they land.

Or was that Malaysia Air?

Can you imagine a bunch of fat people in those seats? There would be so much friction they might spontaneously weld themselves together!

See, Ryanair have the reputation for that, but I've found other low-costs to be markedly less spacious. Wizz Air are quite cramped and Air Asia X are ridiculously uncomfortable.

Dave Cameron's Air Lines brings you ToryAir for the riff raff.

Bah they could at least be twice as efficient, they forgot the ceiling. They could easily fit twice as many people in if the attach seats to the roof that mirror the seats on the floor. That way not only do you get rampant butt touching, but also get something vaguely resembling the numbers 6 and 9 too!

I'm sure it all would go real well if the TSA takes things to the final level when it comes to what you can board the plane wearing.

This is similar to how air cargo is handled. The containers are shaped in such a fashion to interlock using all space available. The top of the containers conform to the shape of the fuselage. It appears people are now considered cargo.

You guys have to think positive you get a middle seat and facing you on one side a blonde woman the other a brunette woman then over your shoulders a raven head woman and a red head woman. A silver lining in every cloud.

Now how it would work out facing you on your left and right two explosively flatulent men over your shoulders the same with center seat behind you an ADHD kid kicking your seat for 10 hours.
