Future Airplane seating?

Don't know if this has been posted earlier in FT, but came across this in a Danish News Paper today and thought I'd share:

Don't know how most of the designs would work in the real world though

One should not be too claustrophobic with that "Economy Flex" concept...

Yes, this is true. The last I heard (from an interview with the CEO in a paper) was that they were now considering not pressurising their cabins. Apparently heating the plane is quite expensive so he will tell passengers they should turn up with an extra jumperto withstand the cold. There will also be an additional charge for anyone wanting to take two jumpers on the plane.

You have to admire his ingenuity.
