New Airplane Seat Designs
While air travel is still in a dreadful state, at least progress is being attempted in the area of design. Thompson Solutions has designed new “Cozy Suite” airline seats, which are staggered at angles to give you a) slightly more privacy from your seatmates, b) a place to lean your head and maybe get some shuteye, and c) more legroom.
With most airline seat innovations being made for higher-paying Business- and First-Class customers, it’s a surprise that Delta will reportedly begin installing the seats in their Economy sections by 2010.

As someone who did far too much traveling recently and hated nearly every instant that I wasn’t on a British owned plane, I say bravo.
Glad to see something being done about the economy seats in the airplanes. For any one above 5’6″ in height, the leg room is of utmost importance. I travel every week and my knees sometimes hurt due to a lack of legroom.
