All the US carriers should learn from these foriegn airlines,but they will never learn, because they think they know it all. We should rename US carriers as take the money and punish the customer airlines.

This is all fine and dandy but what are you willing to pay for this? Remember, the more seats in an airplane the cheaper the tickets, the fewer the seats the more expensive the tickets. It all boils down to cost....

ZF,

The cool thing about these seats are that they don't take up any more room at all. It's still a 33" pitch throughout economy on their 777-300s. So they've managed to do the impossible.

Fortunately, we may see these offered to other airlines as well, through a licensing agreement with Air New Zealand.
