Qantas economy class seat comes with a footrest - Business Insider
As emailed to me: Benjamin Zhang insightful Journalist that he is, takes a reader on a voyage of discovery!
I had the chance to briefly experience the seat in October on a flight from Seattle, Washington to Honolulu, Hawaii. And I can confirm that the foot net along with supple seat padding and a generous degree of recline makes it more than pleasant enough for a 17-hour journey.
Last time I checked the great circle distance implies a flight time of circa 6 hours. Should not really be in business insider, perhaps in the advertising section..
