From economy to first class, seats are one of the main areas where carriers can make their mark on the airplanes they buy from Airbus and Boeing. But what makes the seats different? Photo/Video: Dipti Kapadia/The Wall Street Journal

better plain chaircouchs seats with comfortables on the planes…
no need many TV screens on the planes…
TV screens are too heavy weight and more drinking fuels…
not worth it
Just make people stand and hang onto straps just like on a bus!
for me its leg room
Don’t waste money to make the airlines more profitable, just turn all the cabins into a cargo and put all passengers in cages, alongside with their luggages. There is only way to differentiate classes from people is to be seen on the plane 🙁
airplane wifi… biggest piece of crap in airline history!
put plastic chairs and you will be succesful lol
I am not against standing seats for cheap short flights
Not air Canada.
I am so glad that I do not need to fly these days!
Someone needs to run an airline akin to how the military transports soldiers. Rock bottom prices and absolute minimum comforts for people don’t need, want or can’t afford luxury. Pretty much the only amenities are a bathroom and the assurance that the plane won’t break.
Simpsons predicted that the quality of commercial flight transportation will once be comparable to today’s busy city subway. Dirty, overcrowded, people standing, some hobos spending their life on board and spaceflight will be the new luxury travel. Let’s see in 2030 how accurate they were
I actually thought it was a real weapon…
This did not answer the question …
I hope they get those in airplanes
her voice is so annoying
They should create a section of the cabin for perminent bunks.. People travel in a laydown position for the entire flight.. Similar to the bunks you see on a lot of military transport ships.. They could fit more people in..
Premium Economy, rode it, not worth it.
Airbus and Boeing (what about others are you stupid)
Come on, just stuff everyone like sardines, learn from the slave ships of the Atlantic slave trade. Arm everyone with diapers, and get rid of the toilets. Jeez.
The new weapon for the retard in front of you.
Why not use those capsule hotels from Japan
Some nice lick smacking in the background.

There is something instinctively disturbing with the combination of the words “weapons” and “airlines” in the same sentence!
Before watching this I was like: Are seats going to drag people off a plane instead of people?
They need to stop shrinking the seats and look at the market, many people are larger than Twiggy and a 16″wide seat will not work for them I have a 22″ seat on my wheelchair and even some first class seats are only 19″ widee
In 2049 first class seats will be economy class seat and everyone will complain how uncomfortable it is
this was more of an adveratisement than an answer to a quesiton
Recaro Seats?
Time to Tokyo drift into the runway
this was click bait by terminology
Well I’m kinda on both sides when it comes to smaller seats, when airlines make smaller seats they can make ticket prices cheaper because there is more room for more seats, but if they had a donkey class seats with 34 or 34 inch pitches, they will have to bump the prices way high, you should than I airlines for making air travel, more, and more affordable for more and more people
Lately, economy is becoming more and more a joke. The seats and rooming is becoming so tight that you shouldn’t really pay for that anymore. It’s becoming a joke. In some company, I can’t even use the normal economy for long flights. Because of a lack of room for my legs. If this goes on, I will not be able to fly outside of first class. This is a nightmare.
I like 0:21 it’s like the start of a big Star Trek battle.
Control music volume
What was their weapon before? What does that even mean?
0:20 They look like the ships from Star Wars when they’re stopping after lightspeed travel
What’s the use of 11 abreast when you can’t sell all the seats…
