To squish more ppl in an aircraft while not creating deal breakers of problems is quite the interesting Problem to solve i think.
Like i would be totally ok to have 50cm heigh bunks like in an uboat, but most ppl would probably get quite anxious in such a coffin.
If you are not thin you cannot rotate in such a bunk or even put your hand on your stomach, or even fit into it.

- culebron21 3y agoDignity -- this is what's forgotten in these designs. I prefer sleeper trains to intercity buses, even when not needing to sleep, exactly for that: you can travel with dignity. You can sit upright, stand up, or lay down, which you can't do on an intercity bus.

- klysm 3y agoDignity is closely related to sleep deprivation
- candiodari 3y agoI have actually done that. Also laid on 4 seats sideways because they were unoccupied.
- grecy 3y ago>Dignity -- this is what's forgotten in these designs. I've flown a 15 hour flight at least a dozen times in economy. Trust me when I say there is no dignity after 14 hours of trying to get a little sleep with your mouth wide open, snoring loudly, drool coming out and your head lolling onto the person next to you. When I think of that 15 hour flight the very last word in my mind is dignity.
- MichaelZuo 3y agoIt doesn’t seem likely any designer is forgetting ‘dignity’… It’s just that revealed preferences show the vast majority of people, even quite well off upper middle class folks, nearly always choose to sacrifice ‘dignity’ in exchange for a lower fare.

- sircastor 3y agoI get uncomfortable if I’m on the wall side of my kid’s lower bunk bed, and it’s probably 80cm. It’s an interesting mental exercise, but honestly I think this madness needs stop. If flying is not profitable enough, then we need to plaster the country in passenger rail.
- Ekaros 3y agoOr just accept the reality that we can travel less. Rails are not very cheap either, at least if they are maintained for reasonable speeds.
- andruby 3y agoEurope is more densely populated and has rail. Train often isn't cheaper than flying. I like the idea of plastering the US with passenger rail, but I think that'll be very expensive to install and run.
- ghaff 3y agoTaking a night train in Europe, especially if it involves a sleeper car, is absolutely not cheaper than flying a budget airline. (Although it may be if you count saving a hotel room.) But trains generally are not cheaper than flying in much of the world.
- laverya 3y ago> If flying is not profitable enough, then we need to plaster the country in passenger rail. These solutions are targeted at 15+ hour flights - I don't think anyone's building high-speed rail from London to Sydney anytime soon.
