Fortunately, its not all bad.
There are plenty of people designing airplane interiors with passenger comfort in mind.
And now you’re able to all without shelling out for tickets you need a mortgage for.
Yes, Im talking about Air New Zealands sleep pods.
Each bunk-bed unit has its own mattress, sheets, privacy curtain, USB charging, and ventilation.
However, the pods are communal, and the passengers can only book a pod for four hours.
Worse, there are only six pods per plane.
Just wait for the air rage, people.
Cloud capsule
The cloud capsule is designed to increase passenger comfort while making the airline more money.
So its a bit like having people sleeping in an overhead locker.
A touch creepy, but its not like Id say no.
SpaceChiller
SpaceChiller byCollins Aerospaceis a personal mini-bar requiring half the power of traditional designs.
Designed byTeagueand NORDAM, the design creates space without removing seat capacity.
Chaise Longue Airplane Seat
you might blame Delft Technical University for this design.
Lofty ambition or masochistic design?
But I dislike my chance of staying upright when stepping down especially after a few gin and tonics.
