Transatlantic in your bed...
According to the "Evening Standard" for GBP 999 we will be able
to fly London-New York round trip with SilverJet in an all-bed configuration. A 767 will take 100 full beds instead of 300 "cattle class" seats. What about the safety. :eek: How are you going to "fasten your seat belts", when there are no seats ???? ;) |
Seats & Beds!
I think you may be referring to SilverJet
ADG |
Sure, my mistake... :\
Already edited... ;) |
OK, they do have seats...
:p "We have installed state-of-the-art seats that convert simply into 75” flat beds." |

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class seats have airbags and can be kept reclined. And the BA Club World backfacing seats are also said to be not quite upright on takeoff/landing. |
BA club class seats are very slightly reclined when in landing configuration I've always assumed that the reason for requiring fully upright seating on takeoff and landing is to maximise the space between seat rows in case evacuation is needed. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will correct me if I'm under a misapprehension :) |
The old (currently being replaced) BA club seat is brought into a position that is not fully upright for landing/takeoff. So during flight, the back and the seat is capable of sliding even further back. Not sure why this is seen as the best position.

Willing to be corrected... |
SilverJets competitor Eos Airlines has just won the 'Best Long Haul Business Airline' award.

VS Upper Class seats have airbags built into the seatbelt. You take-off and land at a slight recline.
