Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Are these airplane seats the future of economy?

In general, the more passengers are on board or the more money passengers pay per seat, the more profit the airline generates. That’s why budget airlines put as many seats as possible while full-service airlines provide luxurious business class seats and first-class cabin. But do passengers’ comfort and the airline’s profit have to be so conflicting with each other in economy class?

Well, with a little ingenuity, economy-class seats can be comfortable as well as economical. A British design company came up with comfy economy-class seats for short or medium haul flights for Airbus. The seat design looks very stylish and functional, just like a chair in the office. Also, there are features to make the passengers feel more comfortable even without a reclining function. They also accommodate today’s digital savvy and addicted passengers with features like seat temperature, tension, pressure and movement that can be operated via an app on their smartphone.

Will the airline also make money by providing passengers with an app whose information could be shared with or sold to other businesses?

Enjoy reading the article and see the photos of the innovative seats and think if this kind of stylish seats please passengers in Europe, Asia, and America.
