The 20-Hour Flight Is Coming. And It May Have a Gym and Bunks
The goal of a nonstop flight from Sydney to London — half the way around the planet — took a leap forward as the world’s top planemakers convinced Qantas Airways Ltd. they can make the 20-hour route a reality. (fortune.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Airlines always propose ideas to add to planes for customers. Seen many a drawing on Cad when I worked. But, seats always win out. A gym and Bunks do not revenue create so seats go in.
Plus, I've always wondered what happens when the A/C goes in and out of choppy air for an extended period of time. Do people have to sign up for certain times? Gym certainly won't accommodate everyone at once.
That's what I want - someone who just finishes their workout on hour #3 and I have to sit next to some sweaty, BO injected body for another 17 hours.

.............and you are 110% correct.
Do you recall all the hype about the 787 and a350 (?) they said we would in future be walking into a foyer and not a galley!!??
I have yet to get on one that does not have a galley you walk through on entry and seats shoved to the back and from the front of the same galley.
A gym? Sweat? NO showers? 20 hours............how dumb do they think we are.

Yes I recall when Boeing was working on it. The Economy area was designed to take 19" seats with wider Aisles. But, the airlines added a middle seat with 17.5" seats and aisles that are bare minimum.
Why the hell do you need a gym on a plane .........cant people go without for the duration of the flight
I personally can't see being in a plane for 20-hours continuously....no thanks!
Upfront it is easily done; down the back, never............
