Question

XV208

While rear ward facing seats are better from the brace point of view they do leave you open to the risk of being hit in the face by a bottle of duty free travelling at 200 mph. I heard that they had been trialed once but were not popular, especially at take off.

I was not aware that cost was an issue. Why will rear facing seats costs more than forward facing ones.
