It’s an elegant and simple solution and very bright thinking by B/E Aerospace—but everyone will now want the window seat.

If ANA takes its inspiration from another Epic film franchise-airline partnership, then we might see R2-D2 and C3PO donning life jackets and pointing out exit signs for in-flight safety videos. And Ewoks..everywhere.

The trend for increased cabin density and the emergence of competitors with similar notions lend mild credibility to Rusk’s optimism. Mild we say.

Trying to differentiate First and Business class just got ridiculously complicated. Huzzah!

We can only hope that airlines will use the force of these optimized designs for the greater good--to upgrade affordably and not to down-grade for cost-cutting. Time will tell.

Paid or free, people want to be able to chose whether to connect. But we're surprised that 42% of passengers surveyed in the U.S. wanted mobile voice. Considering boisterous objections by U.S. travellers to calls onboard, we would have expected this number to be much lower.

After putting up with squabbles over nuts in bags and nonsense from nuts in seats, cabin crew deserve a decent rest.

It's really difficult to find Clark unprepared or off his game. The big three U.S. Airlines and the EU Transport Commission will have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat his arguments--not just because of the time difference with the UAE, either.

It’s a comfort to know that the EU takes this passenger experience stuff seriously.
