This.
Having done countless flights in Air NZ's herringbone inward facing pods, doors would be a vast improvement so not looking at feet, screens, trolleys and whatever else is going on.

Not for outward facing seats though.

Why on earth would they consider inward facing pods?
Are they that much cheaper to buy and install?
