Being awkwardly sandwiched in between two people while fighting for elbow room is the bane of most fliers. Now a new design might actually make people want the middle seat -- or at least make the flying experience less miserable.
Being awkwardly sandwiched in between two people while fighting for elbow room is the bane of most passengers. Now a new design might actually make people want the middle seat -- or at least make the flying experience less miserable.
Sitting directly adjacent to two people means that passengers only have so much shoulder room. But moving the middle seat back a few inches allows for more space, so the company made the middle seat about three to five inches wider than the standard 18 inch seat. Passengers won't have to fight over elbow space either. The armrests are also built so that they are not a uniform height from front to back. They will allow the aisle and window passengers to rest their elbows on the back of the armrest while leaving space at the front, which is higher, for the middle passenger.
