On a recent NRT-DFW experience in J (sliding down as everyone else - inspired by the recent thread about 2 years of NGBC), I stared blankly at the cabin and started to notice how much wasted space there was in the cabin (think the third dimension).

The overhead bins in in F/J are rarely full (if they are, it's because of scrambing FAs trying to get Y PAX bags stowed at the last minute). This made me start thinking about the capsule hotels across Japan - image here.

So the question is, on certain flights ... would you give up the ability to socialize, work, etc. in order to get a lie flat experience and a quiet environment. Set aside the hygiene concerns and assume they can address that as well as FAA safety concerns.

As a fellow frequent AA PAX, would a coffin style traveling experience be acceptable to you.
