  On the chaise longue, On the chaise longue, On the chaise longue, all day long.

    I heard this song for the first time yesterday, that’s so weird.

      Ah good. The hivemind is functioning as intended.

  I imagine that would make emergency deplaning take a lot longer to the point lives could be lost if there were a fire.

  Chaise longue, french for claustrophobia

  We need to go back to pre-9/11 plane organization.

  This is just wrong.

    Also the fact that planes these days are slower and travel times longer than 30 or 40 years ago. This makes the above seating arrangement even worse for long distance flights.

      The planes are more fuel efficient at certain speeds slower than their max speed. It’s not just cost savings for the airlines, but savings for the earth.

  Based on the angle, it looks like the person on the bottom could end up having some repeatedly farting in their face…

    Extra discount fare if you eat ass.

  Passengers and their god damn legs always being in the way.

  Idk why everyone acts like this is a travesty. If higher seating capacity brings down cost and carbon emissions per passenger, I’m all for it. I’m not flying for the experience but to get to my destination. If you all care so much about spacious seating, just book business class.

    You don’t design for the flight; you design for the evacuation. We learned that the hard way decades ago. This looks like it forgot all those lessons paid for by people’s lives.

      Adding onto this, the cabin design in OP’s post looks like it would 100% break your legs if the plane were to ever crash. It would absolutely suck to be in a plane crash and have your lega broken.

      Then just add additional emergency exits to the plane. Except for a higher total number of passengers I don’t see how this layout would significantly slow down evacuation otherwise. Though I’m by no means an expert.

    This looks like a good way to eliminate all my carbon emissions from flying because there’s no way I’ll get on a plane like this.

    One word: Claustrophobia

    Deep vein thrombosis and lack of efficient evacuation routes say hello

    I’m not even particularly claustrophobic, and I am also very aware that this is unlikely to ever pass FAA inspection, and yet I still inevitably start breathing heavier every time I see this photo. It’s just so terrifying.

  Honestly, you hook me up with an HMD, mouse, and keyboard and i would be down for it.

• lemann@lemmy.one ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

  Those three passengers are sure to have some great bonding time down there in that claustrophobic space 🤦‍♂️

  Please, seat companies, stop giving the airlines ideas!

    You don’t want to blindly stick your feet into that dark underseat compartment.

  pretty sure that’s just called steerage

    steerage, stowage, storage I swear you’re just trying to mess with us at this point

  How big is this cabin? I can’t stand up in current seats now, where in the world are these going to fit? Where do carry-ons go?

  I'm 6'6". My ass would be halfway up the seat.

  Id prefer to lay down.

    If I could fly in a coffin in the baggage section I’d be so much more comfortable.

  Diabolical!

  This actually looks like in a normal position the seat would be further back and give you a normal amount of face room. Looks like it’s on its way down to a lying position.
