In terms of regulation, wouldn't it make more economic and comfort sense to enable sleeper-only flights where everyone lies down, ala Japanese capsule hotels? Tight spaces are much more comfortable when I'm lying down than when I'm sitting.
- ghaff 10y agoDoesn't even need to be sleeper-only flights. Just book business class on pretty much any international flight. (Which is actually much more comfortable than seat configurations for most of the time the Concorde was flying--much less the Concorde itself which was rather cramped.)
- ulfw 10y agoThese used to exist (and still do on some flights). I flew on Singapore Airlines from LAX to SIN when they still had their Airbus A340-500 flying nonstop in about 18 hours between Singapore and Newark or Los Angeles. The whole plane was just 100 seats, business, lie-flat only. Frankly with the odd wide seating they have, you could have easily put 140-150 in there.
