A new seat idea in the works....Double-decker-style airplane seats for coach?! Just like the bus, one row is above another with the top level reached by stairs.
People on social media reacted to the seats. Writer Kaz Weida tweeted: “I’ll be back to comment on this once my claustrophobia lets me breathe again.”
The prototype at this year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany, showcases a lack of overhead luggage storage in favor of an area in between the two rows.
This leaves those on the top row with only 4.92 feet of space between the seats and the top of the plane, which means passengers won’t be able to stand up to get out.
