Just as you thought that certain airlines cannot possibly make the flying experience more miserable, here comes the "SkyRider" seat. With a saddleback feel and the weight almost entirely shifted to the legs, this new airline seat is a mere 23 inches away from the passenger in front of you or behind you. The arm rest is a sliver and you will get to know your seatmate even more intimately...
Introduced at the Aircraft Interiors Expo Americas trade show last week, this vertical seat concept is getting attention from discount airlines such as Ryanair.
As few airlines such as Spirit and Ryanair have discontinued reclining seats, they turn their focus to cramming even more passengers into the cabin. Aviointeriors Group, the Italian company behind this "clever" concept claims that the seats are actually more comfortable than regular seats and are pitching them for flights of up to 3 hours.
Ryanair is taking the concept to the highest extreme by floating the idea of standing seats if the regulators would approve the design. Could shrink-wrapping passengers and storing them in the cargo bin be too far away?
