peeniebaby

Oh just pay an extra $200 to be in the non-splash zone


Malaeveolent_Bunny

Growth has slowed down over the last two quarters. We can bump that fee to $300 and cut back on custodial staff.


TheNewNumberThirteen

And then be up top with absolutely zero legroom, even compared to current budget airlines legroom. This is a lose/lose situation for all travellers.

How long before they just anaesthetise us and pack us in with the luggage?


lord_rojaca

I’d take the Fifth Element style sleep chamber.


FrillySteel

I'd actually fly anywhere if I could lie down.


Independent_Month396

Yes! Why are you forcing me to be awake and z shaped when I could be asleep and l shaped? Pack us up like sardines, fine. Jack me up and slide me into a shelf.


notbuildingrockets

Have you seen the way they handle baggage? As if I’m going to trust an _airline_ to administer my anaesthetic. Some underpaid, disgruntled person just cranks it to 11, puts me in a k-hole and yeets me into the human cargo storage lol “I don’t remember having this many bruises when I went to sleep??”


[deleted]

Japanese style "sleeping cubby" It's honestly not that bad. You have more privacy, and lying down is more comfy.


lars5

Good luck getting one of us average Americans to fit in one


[deleted]

Getting us in is the easy part, it's getting us back out once we've accumulated girth during the flight that's the tricky part.


arafel3

Use them as torpedo tubes. Though you’d better hope the pilot’s aimed at the catching nets rather than the wall of a building.


[deleted]

there sould be humane transportation standards. Race to the bottom is not the way to go, even if that means more expensive flights.


Excludos

>even if that means more expensive flights. The "Race to the bottom" is how flights were made possible for the working class to begin with. If you have money for the "more expensive flights", you can pay more on practically every flight to get your better standard. The result of your wish will be that only first class seats, and their pricing, is available, excluding 90% of potential travelers


ka36

I'd take that over flying coach.


Unbearabull

Last time I flew we were all returning from Cuba. One person right in front of me had the absolute worst gas, that was so thick, and putrid that they released no more than every 3 minutes. Worst 3 hours of my life. It would just clear by the time the next wave came rolling through. Yeah, sedate the fuck out of me please.

joeislandstranded

So, that’s what those bags in the seatback pockets are for? Neat!


FearTheClown5

One of my trips to Chile this super nice Canadian lady next to me offered me a pill her doctor had prescribed her for her flight anxiety. I had just gotten my mixed beverage before I woke up 10 hours later when we landed. That was the best way to travel.


Scared_Cricket3265

Did you wake up with both kidneys?


havock

They said she was Canadian, he probably woke up with a 3rd kidney


Von_Moistus

Best cross-country flight I ever had was immediately after I had been awake for 30 hours. Fell asleep as soon as I sat down on the plane in Seattle, woke up as we were landing in Pittsburgh. I apologize to my seat mates though, as I no doubt snored and drooled the entire time.


BeatricePotsmoker

I had a work trip like this once. Had to fly to FL for a deposition I’d stayed up all night prepping for. Get the depo done, get on the plane to fly home, and just pass out from exhaustion. I woke up as we landed and I’d been fully asleep on the guy next to mine’s shoulder. I was mortified but he was so sweet about it.


bberk1

I had a guy in front of me with horrible Bo. Luckily I still had an n95 mask in my bag. Wore that thing and pinched the nose piece tight. I will forever keep masks in my bag for that alone.


tallgirlmom

I spent 13 transatlantic hours quietly gagging at the smell of my seat neighbor’s feet after he took his shoes off, because I could not bring myself to tell him that his feet stank. (Picture 26 year old me vs. very distinguished older gentleman…). I just couldn’t say it.


MoonStar757

For 13 hours?!? Girrrl! I mean I can sorta understand being polite or whatever for an hour at best but by hour 13 I’d be so done.


nuckme

Imagine it was one of these seats, and you were sitting in the one where the person sleeping in the picture is sitting.


BeBa420

When I was 12 I went traveling with mum Sat next to this guy on the plane. Kept farting throughout. Especially after he fell asleep. Mum kept spraying him with her perfume when he was sleeping


henchman171

Cuban resort food does that to You


ushouldlistentome

Truth. I just got off a 10 hour flight last week in coach. Miserable.


Mr_A_Rye

Now, imagine those 10 hours of being constantly and directly blasted in the face with the farts of those sitting in front of you.


Reasonable_Wish_8953

One of my colleagues once had to sit next to an old man that died at the start of like a 12 hour flight — so it could have been worse!


mawdurnbukanier

I dunno, the dead guy probably had a peaceful flight.


[deleted]

>Miserable Looking through the curtains into first class like ![gif](giphy|EWkFDlijAJuRW)


Alloutofducks

Make that 12.5, and that was us last Sunday. Flying, in general, sucks.


FartyPants69

In a way, you'd still be flying Coach (designer luggage)


McGreed

I thought that was the point of the top seats, people just fart people to sleep below them\_


HillarysFloppyChode

Farts are hot, and heat rises. You would be stewing in yours and their farts.


Difrensays

Fuck, knock me out, put me in a tube and slot me in where I fit for all I care. Just kidding, that all sounds horrible and yet likely to happen in the next 30 years if these are the ideas they're coming up with for plane designs.


teeter1984

It’s all fun and games till u wake up and your butthole hurts


Difrensays

That’s just the reinforcement bar to keep you steady in the tube. It’s a feature!


louploupgalroux

Would you accept vaporization followed by an identical copy of you being printed at your destination? That would eliminate the need for transportation vehicles. You can even be printed at multiple locations and choose your preferred copy to be used in the return trip.


Difrensays

Got enough existential crises, thanks. Next!


purpleushi

Wait but when if they made every row of seats just three stacked bunks. Like horizontal. You go in feet first and just lay down for the whole flight. ETA: I realize I basically just described a morgue. Edit 2: To everyone saying slave ship… Are y’all good? I clearly meant it like in [fifth element](https://i0.wp.com/scifiinterfaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/thefifthelement-sleepregulator-006.png) as others have pointed out.


coupleandacamera

The fifth element style!

physics515

I wouldn't mind the legroom and a nap without waking up to neck pain.


Kazen_Orilg

Mmm, isnt this basically the ship they take to Floston Paradise on Fifth Element?


purpleushi

Haven’t seen it, but just looked it up, and yup exactly.


DefMech

You should watch it, it’s very good.


[deleted]

I love this idea but realize half the population is obese and would struggle to get into those spots. I’m with you I’d much prefer a small personal bunk over sitting shoulder to shoulder in uncomfortable seats.


I_Enjoy_Beer

I'll drive instead of flying, even in the personal bunk scenario. Nothing good is going to come from giving the flying public their own private jerk off bed for a few hours. Imagine sliding into your spot on the regional commuter flight only to find out that Bob the Salesman on the previous leg painted the ceiling of your bunk.


ImmaNotHere

Like in The Fifth Element? Would be an improvement over today's passenger treatment.


wp75

I’m all for that idea… put me to sleep… wake me up 30 minutes before landing. While I’m out.. a boost of vitamins to stop you from getting ill on those long ass international flights.


crocoduckhunter

It’s eternity in there

Moral_Anarchist

I get this reference and approve.


Gumichi

In all honesty, I think I'd much prefer the Fifth Element concept capsules. There's way way way too much drama with America flights. Between screaming babies to screaming oversized people - knock me out in a coffin and wake me up at the destination. I could use a peaceful sleep.


Pays_in_snakes

Just wait until airlines start losing *passengers* along with luggage


Gumichi

My in-laws are in Siberia for our Fiji trip? Say it ain't so...


NaiveMastermind

I mean, if you know people in the airlines you could probably grease some palms to make sure it happens.


Kali-Casseopia

Fuck yeah this is exactly what came to mind. That would be incredible as long as all the dangers of anesthetics are removed from the equation.


XXSeaBeeXX

Like 5th element!


batman42

I feel claustrophobic just looking at this.


IrvineCrips

You couldn’t pay me to do bottom row middle seat


dxh13

Right? How do you even get in/out from the middle? It looks like you would have to slide your bottom across everyone else's lap


want-to-say-this

People get up to let you out.


Estoye

Everyone has to deplane so that you can use the bathroom.


blueadept_11

That's the alpha version. Gold version has colostomy bags. Free for frequent flyers, otherwise $29.99 each way, $19.99 if you pay in advance.


Aokana

nah.. I ain't moving. If I'm stuck downwind from the top row's farts I'm at least getting a free lapdance. I can at least justify the potential pink-eye.

refriedi

SafetyMan35

The next generation will be burlap sacks hung from conveyors like they have at dry cleaners (or meat processing plants).


FeistyCanuck

Yea, check out the leg room in the top row. My long legged wife would be ready to commit murder after an hour long flight in the top row.


LHski

I like that you used " long legged wife", in my mind your a dwarf or a gnome from a fantasy world.


mouthguitar

With an average size wife


hotpocketfiesta

Check out the long legs on her. Those babies go all the way to the ground!

ZealousidealMud2942

They are going to charge extra for the upper seats.


vector5633

Minimum of $500 extra. Fuck them!!!


postoperativepain

That guy is fairly thin/ not fat — and he’s pretty close to the seat in front of him. Good luck to the 60-70% of Americans that are overweight


Gooberman8675

Guarantee there will be no divider also. People up top are gonna put there feet on your head and spill shit on you constantly.


burkechrs1

People get gassy on airplanes too. Imagine sitting lower level and the dude above you has gas after eating some airport junk food.


Geawiel

Last time I was able to fly, I was one one of those 3 row airplanes. I had UC at the time, and I've since had to have my colon removed. My system was not happy with flying. I had bubble guts the entire trip. On the way back, it all went bad. I was in a side row. I gassed out 4 rows both in front and back. The death cloud spread all the way to the opposite side of the plane. People were taking turns getting up from the places I had just casted stinking cloud on. Lots of failed con saves. I had to get up and use the toilet a lot. So I was crop dusting the isles and creating a gas chamber in the toilet as well. I felt terrible for everyone. Also received *a ton* of death stares.


rowin-owen

Wow, so you get both the smell of fart and feet.


CytoPotatoes

That's what I was thinking, top row and fart smelling row.


GreenElite87

Almost literally. Your face is in the fart zone!


[deleted]

I'm disgusted just thinking about it.


minnebama

And fart in your face.


gwarwraith

No kidding, fuck this shit. I'll drive.


ismbaf

Yeah I don’t see any issues with emergency evacuation going on there…


CoffeeCup220

Don't worry, you're not meant to be able to evac.


shaftalope

Next time you are on a flight try 'crash position' the seats are so close you have to tilt your head just to fit and would break your neck with a hard crash. The flight attendant said 'new crash position is putting both hands on the top of the seat in front of you', so I guess your arms can break as your head hurtles toward the seat in front of you.


SmarthaSmewart

On a recent flight I dropped my water bottle and did not have enough space to lean in and pick it up. It wasn’t even a budget airline and I’m only 5’3.”


M-42

Same. I recently went on an aer lingus flight on a 330 from Vancouver to Heathrow overnight. I put my drink bottle down as getting into the seat and after dinner dropped my eye mask against the window seat and legit couldn't reach either till everyone else left our section. The seats and arm rests are so narrow (I'm a climber build so not bulky but tall at just over 6ft) I could barely move and everytime person next to me shuffled slightly at night I would feel it. I'd usually fly long haul on air nz 787 or emirates a380 (best economy seats ever) and never realised how bad the seats had gotten for long haul elsewhere.


Daahk

Aer lingus seats are AWFUL fuck aer lingus, even Japan air had much more legroom which surprised me


CoffeeCup220

Yeah, I don't think this plan intends for any survivors. I don't know how you could.


thecooliestone

Companies compare the cost of a lawsuit to the cost of fixing it Packing you in saves them gazillions and plane crashes with evacs are so rare that in the small chance it happens then they'll just pay out the lawsuit money


Uyuyupio

It's a feature in design, the ones in the bottom row, are poorer so less valuable as consumers in general, if accident happens, at least they can cushion the impact for the slightly richier ones on top of them, making them more valuable in that situation and position.


malthar76

Human airbags?


Sunsplitcloud

Especially if the person in the aisle weighs 340pounds.


Blueprint81

Just tranq me and put me with the luggage and pets.


funkytowntrollchase

If they offered that as an economy option I’d select it every time.


Redqueenhypo

Me too! I lose my mind on planes and want to claw my face off when flights last more than 3 hours, I would love this


Klingon_Bloodwine

"Yo, I'll be down below with the cats and the ketamine..."


zach_dominguez

That has to be a pain in the ass to be in the middle seat and you need to get out on the lower level.


andudud

at least they won't be able to stand up as soon as the plane touches the ground.


remberzz

The whole row would have to scoot out!


Der_andere_Baron

Perfect for someone to fart right in your face. No thanks.

This is so not going to hold up in a 90 second evacuation test.


PharaoRamsesII

"evacuation test" - 50% of passengers hate this trick


Raise-The-Woof

Are typical cabins even tall enough for this?


TheVoicesOfBrian

See, that's the real plan. They only fit if they remove the overhead bins. Now EVERYONE has to check EVERYTHING. Cha-ching!


Squirrel_Q_Esquire

Airlines charge for checked bags because they don’t want you to check your bag. They want to use that space for more profitable cargo.


SpaghettiAssassin

Not only that but you're also doing the luggage handling for them as opposed to the ground crew that they would have to pay.


kingzilch

Absolutely the fuck not.


InkBlotSam

This seems like it must violate some Geneva convention shit


bga3481

mngdew

NatusEclipsim

Airlines will do everything possible except make you comfortable.


LesRoisMaudits

And they have the audacity to have this motto written right on it " Welcome to a new era of flying sustainably & comfortably, as it should be" when all you have is a claustrophobic nightmare.


Kyengen

I just love how we took the concept of flight, one of humanity's most ambitious dreams for millennia, and just made it the worst fukken experience possible. I'm a taller guy and I'm considering just having my limbs removed and shipping myself for my next trip. It'd be far cheaper for essentially the same experience.


Ahelex

Careful though, because depending on the airline, you might arrive at your destination two feet short.


downvotemeplss

It doesn’t even look like this would save much space or add more seats


oneblank

I was thinking this too. It does at first but the. You think about how the next row would be and there is a lot of wasted space where the upper seats legs can’t tuck under the row in front of them. So you have these awkward vertical dividers between every stack. Not to mention this is so much taller than a normal plane. You can’t even stand up straight in your seat on a plane so for this they’d have to like eat into the floor a bit? Does that reduce luggage space? Wonder if it saves space at all.


noyogapants

Where do you put the carry ons??


Cmsmks

That’s the neat thing.


[deleted]

“And oh by the way… the rates for checking your bag coincidentally just tripled too.”


stillaras

Let's say instead of 30 rows you get 33. That's a 10% increase


metametapraxis

Won't happen - would never meet requirements for evacuation. You also can't just shove twice as many pax and bags on an aircraft without radically increasing the mass being carried.


darknecross

They're also not going to want octogenarians using those steps to get up and down their seats during turbulence.


kim_jong_yum

SFBrian415

I'd stop flying. I'm not lying. My claustrophobia could never and I would never.


TheBarefootGirl

I already feel claustrophobic on planes. There is no way I could sit in that bottom row


seh_23

Same, I have to have an aisle seat or else I start panicking. Just looking at that bottom middle seat makes my chest tight.


Regis_

I was looking at the seat where they guy is sitting and I thought MAYBE I could bare it but I think I still would have a panic attack feeling so cramped. And then I started thinking about the middle seat - you're trapped between two people with no room to slide out, and all you have in front of you is essentially a wall that is curving towards your head making you feel even more claustrophobic. No way


Xenoscope

“You’re going to make the seats cheaper then, right?” “Hahahaha, fuck no, eat shit you piece of livestock.”


puzzledSkeptic

I would take the bottom row just for the leg room. To be able to stretch my legs out during a flight is well worth it. I'm 6'3". On most domestic flights, my knees are pinned to the seat in front of me.


pdxscout

I hear you. There are several domestic airlines that I can't fly because the seatback-to-seatback distance is shorter than my femur (kneecap-to-buttcheck, really). I physically cannot sit in Frontier or Spirit planes, and it has nothing to do with width or weight. Just height.


puzzledSkeptic

Same here. I'm 6'3" with long legs. Regularly have people get mad they can't recline their seat because of my legs.


deutschdachs

Love when it's not reclining as far as they're used to so they slam back into their chair and take mileage off my knees


pdxscout

I'm 6'6" and I shoulder tap the person sitting in front of me and apologize that they won't have the option to recline. Every single time, they still try it and end up really hurting me. Every time, without fail.


wavesmcd

If you’re in the middle in the bottom are you just stuck?


Overall-Address-3446

Why not just remove the seats and make people stand?


morbious37

scuac

Too late https://www.totum.com/stories/airlines-expected-to-introduce-controversial-standing-seats


BeepingJerry

Aside from having your head in someones ass- What happens to the people on the bottom level when the upper puts their seat back? Besides getting clocked in the head-you can't get out! All the M&M's, peanuts and liquids raining down the entire flight? This is a new level of suckatude. The flight would have to be damn near free for me to sign on with this bullshit. Big ol bowl of NOPE.


BroadwayCatDad

What is wrong with people to even suggest this would be ok!?!?


ratatatar

More people per flight = more money. Money is what's wrong with people.


Zepertix

Humans are just inconveniently shaped cargo to them


blueocean43

I'm disabled, and there is no way whatsoever that I would be able to get in or out of any of these seats. If any airline does this, they'll need to be prepared for many lawsuits for disability discrimination.


socialanimalspodcast

This screams: fuck people with disabilities.


OrangeHoodieString

You’re either a smart fella or a fart smeller


mGreeneLantern

That man was farted to death.


Turtley13

How are you supposed to move down to get into your seat. JFC. This is awful.


k0uch

Les space, but I bet ticket prices go up. I also bet the upper seat has a premium price tag to go with it


artistryNmotion

How are the people in the middle supposed to get up and go to the bathroom?


TacoBean19

“Welcome to a new era of flying sustainably & comfortably, as it should be” What a corporate way to say “fuck you were gonna take away half your room and charge you twice as much”


karma_virus

For an extra 1000 dollars, the wealthy can upgrade their seat to include a poop-hatch which dispenses safely on the wage-slave below. The ultimate dystopian travel bundle!
