    As someone who doesn’t have claustrophobia, I feel claustrophobic just looking at this. Then again, I’ve never been on a plane before, and for all I know this might be better :/

      I had very bad claustrophobia the time I got rolled in a carpet with only my head sticking out or the time I got closed in a trunk. Flew around 12 times on airplanes and they are mostly just uncomfortable and annoying. Maybe I grew out of it 🤷

            Getting locked in a trunk and rolled up into a carpet with your head sticking out just sounds like someone Wile e coyote would count as normal life experiences. Bonus points if you hopped away off screen after getting rolled in the carpet.

              I got rolled into our floor rug as a kid, we were messing around and I thought it would be funny. It was not and a panic attack was had.

        I think theres just so much shit going on in an airplane that the brain short circuits and doesnt think about the fact that you are in a disturbingly thin walled, air sealed aluminium can hurtling through the sky at 800+kph with a hundred other people, most of whom dont have the common sense the gods gave a common rock, and are riddled with disease that you are no doubt being exposed to due to being crammed in like sardines.

          I agree it sucks but most of the time I am just hoping that the plane doesn’t crash, and I am a pretty anxious person, other than that my headphones are in and I’m either listening to music or watching a something and looking out the window :p

      The leg room is better but scooting into the window seat will be slightly harder. Hard telling if you can put your feet down in this set up though.

        The leg room is different, but it isn’t better. There’s about the same amount of usable space. I’d prefer the classic chair setup I think.

          Just looks way too low clearance. Can’t put up your knees, can’t put one leg over the other, can’t lay on the side. Who can keep their legs straight like this for 10h. If it had like double the clearance I’d love this.

            Alternatively, have it totally flat under some chairs maybe? Have the option for a bed or a chair basically.
