Double decker budget airliner seat

I bet Ryanair are already trying to order them.

Wouldnt like to get off that in an emergency.

Head at fart level? No thanks

A row of 300lb people and you could be heading for a catastrophic crush.

The pile of odd timber at the other side of the display doesn't exactly inspire confidence!

What looks like a merchantable idea has loads of problems. What about the windows? How about cleaning or changing to cargo configuration?
What happens to the row in front and behind these? Looks close enough for 'portly' people to actually get stuck in there.

Save it 'til next April 1st I think.

Cant see the traditional brace postion working with that set up.

[Eric Mc]

That would be utter hell to endure.

Wouldn't help, in a heavy landing the top deck will collapse and crush anyone below anyway.

It’s a student project, not going to happen.

"He's in talks with big-name airlines and seat manufacturing companies. He's been granted some hefty investment that's allowed the project to develop."

[zarlak]

I can't see it taking off...

[Tim330]

At least it appears the person in front can't recline into you. Not sure this will bother a typical poster who only flies 1st class or by private jet!

[Jamescrs]

Looks horrendous to sit in, Ryan Air will love it.

There's too much material for Ryanair to be interested. They wanted us all strapped standing up.

[Scrump]

I like it. Adds a new ‘tier’ to aeroplane seating for single class flights.
Changes the ‘turn left’ or ‘turn right’ class division into another dimension: ‘grand circle’ or ‘stalls’ , or maybe ‘above stairs’ and ‘below stairs’.

[Last Visit]

I'd favour upper rather than lower deck that's for sure.

I’d favour flying with a different airline

The designer, Nunez said: "My purpose here is to change the economy class seats for the better of humanity, or for all the people that cannot afford to pay for more expensive tickets," he says."

His design makes economy seats worse for humanity and people can afford to fly because it's so cheap - ften cheaper than trains. I was watching a YouTube video of someone flying Edinburgh to Billund, Denmark, to Turin and back to Edinburgh for £21!

So a solution to a problem that does not exist.

I would definitely keep a face mask on.

The upper level seats appear to have even less legroom than normal, unless the passengers put their feet on top of the headrest in front (and with certain budget airlines' passengers that is bound to happen!).



And the total height seems to rule out the fitting of overhead lockers. The inward curvature of the cabin sides makes it look like seats A and F at high level would be pretty cramped, if they could fit in at all.



So no overhead lockers and no underseat storage for the high level seats.
