I think the first time I read about "standing seats" was in Ryanair magazine in 2010. They didn't introduce it, I'm sure it was because of regulations (but they're from EU, maybe airlines in other parts of the world could do that).
- IshKebab 9y agoNo they never intended to introduce it. They says something crazy like that every now and then to get in the news and to remind people they are cheap. They've had: * Pay for the toilet * Standing 'seats' * Allow customers to watch porn Probably others I've forgotten. They've even admitted they are marketing stunts.

For example, the top deck of a BA 747 is entirely lay-flat business seats, which are incredibly comfortable for long haul. But, as you say, you have to pay (somewhat) extra, or live in hope that the computer gods decide to upgrade you...
