Good design strikes again

I’ve got a lot of love for designers right now, especially those who are improving the lives of travellers and tourists. Latest hero of this ilk is Emil Jacob, who designed the airline seat/bed layout you see above. I’m sure any airline that installs a layout like this will charge a premium for them, but it ever becomes a standard layout, it seems as though the tickets should only cost half again as much as a regular coach ticket to cover the cost of the lost seat.

slide show for some other seat designs. There are some interesting ideas in there that might cost a bit extra, but would certainly make log distance flying that much more comfortable.
