Boeing's Latest Plane Is Airlines' Brand New Way To Make You Uncomfortable While They Make More Money
"Unrivaled profits await," croons Boeing's sales video. It's the "the most profitable single-aisle ever." (www.inc.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Boeing is not the ones that comes up with the horrible cabin designs it's the airlines. The airlines have done a nice job of ruining the 777 and 787 which are both great aircraft.
Exactly. That's why I vote with my wallet. United and American are no longer on my eligibility list. Thank Goodness, there are other ways to get from point A to point B.
I fully agree! What a waste of fine aircraft with these horrible seatplans.
There are two types of airline passengers - those that are willing to pay for comfort and those that will accept anything provided it is cheap
The airlines know that there are few of the first and lots of the second

Or, you can just avoid patronizing these bean counters as much as possible. That's what I do.
I agree with s2v8377. My 787 trip from Dallas to Madrid with AA last week was a huge disappointment. The seat in front of me was so close, my legs were obstructed by the chair supports in front of me. I had never experienced this degree of discomfort before. It prevented me from being able to enjoy many of the cool features I had been looking forward to.
It also reminded me of a previous experience with AA in an MD-83 years earlier. The seat configuration, normally ( 2-aile-3) on all MD-83's, was (3-aile-3.) Ridiculous!
When I returned stateside with IBERIA on an older A340 yesterday, there was substantialy more room & I was indeed releived.

Six-abreast seating on an MD-83? I can't imagine it.
Interesting... I've flown a lot of miles on AA MD80s but never seen one with anything other than 2/3 seating.
I was shocked however to fly from LAX to NRT this past weekend in a 777 that had 3/4/3 seating in Econom, only 5 lavs, and no way other than the rear galley to cross from one side of the aircraft to the other. You literally have to turn sideways to get down the aisles and it is nearly impossible for the FAs to get the beverage cart down the aisle without hitting people. At one point there were over a dozen people waiting in the aisle to get to either of the two lavs on the AB side of the plane.
