Windows out, video windows in. Lighter seats, which move and change shape depending on how much you pay. More composites to make the aircraft lighter. And a return to supersonic travel (but only at mach 1.6 rather than mach 2).
SAS tried the moveable seats in the 1990s. On TATL flights, they offered FC and business class in the same cabin. If someone bought a FC seat, apparently the mechanics would remove two rows of business class and replace them by a much bigger FC seat, almost lie flat. AFAIK the service and F&B were the same. I thought it was strange.
