Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing?

Realistically, no. Unless the airline also slashes the ticket prices in half, its just going to make them less popular than regular airline seats.
And even if they did manage to cram 2x more seats, there isnt enough space in the overhead lockers for 2x the luggage, so it just won’t work.

I think the overhead compartments would also have to be shrunk to accommodate the taller “seats.”

Yeah, further compounding the problem. And if standard carry-on luggage’s dont fit anymore, it’ll force more luggage into the hold, which will also run out of space. Unless there is a new plane built around the standing concept, I just can’t see it ever happening.
