Reasons against asymmetrical seating on widebody aircraft:
- Complexity: Implementing asymmetrical seating requires more complex aircraft design and can be more challenging to maintain.
- Reduced standardization: By deviating from standard seating arrangements, airlines may face difficulty in finding compatible replacement parts or trained technicians to perform repairs.
- Passenger confusion: Passengers may be confused by the unconventional layout and may have difficulty locating their seats, especially on long-haul flights.
- Reduced passenger appeal: Some passengers may be less likely to choose a flight with an unconventional seating arrangement, which could impact demand for such flights.
