Food? Drinks?

You haven't been paying attention to the latest developments,
have you?

I've seen city buses that look more comfortable than that.

Unfortunately, you may have to travel first-class to do that on many
routes. I like saving money as much as anyone but is that the only thing
that matters? The arrangement does not look particularly safe for
turbulence or an emergency landing.

This article is nothing but evidence that even in this world economy
(or maybe because of it), there are people with way too much time to
doodle bizarre ideas and write about them.

Theres 0% chance anything like this would ever get regulatory
approval; no back support, no way to properly belt in the passengers,
and the aisles would never pass an evacuation test.

Now the drawings at the end, of the "standing seats" might be feasible
(note that you stand/lean against a platform, presumably with
straps/belts, and it looks like it has a flip up stool). Might
actually be more comfortable and easier to maneuver in/out of for
taller folks than a seat.

Lufthansa gave me dinner on MAD-FRA last week. It was some sort of
chicken, not great but not awful.
