I'd also like to add that anyone who reclines their seat in economy is a selfish prick and the only person worse than them is the airlines who include a recline function on economy seats when there is no room for it.

We already covered this. Either spend $1 on an eye mask, or see if the cabin crew have them.

Some airlines have slippers, ffs.

Unironically bring back zeppelins. I don't care if NYC to LA would take like 48 hours, it'd be awesome to have a cabin with a proper bed and other amenities like restaurants or maybe somewhere to get a massage

You may be on to something. How many people could a top of the line zeppelin carry? Trip will probably cost thrice as much as a first class plane ticket, but I think the tickets would sell.

Basically there is this 5 hour trip I used to take ever so often with Etihad, except on this particular flight they have a 737 I think, so business class is those dumbass chairs where the TV screen is inside an armrest and you need to fold it back if you need to get up. There is basically too much crap for just one chair so the normal procedure to go pee while you are medium level drunk goes like this.

1. Fold the screen into armrest
2. Pillow? Ok, pillow helpfully falls behind your back, thanks pillow.
3. Encouraged by pillow's obedience boldly crumple the blanked somewhere to the side
4. Where are my shoes?
5. Press button to retract footrest so you can see the floor
6. try to put on shoes, welp forgot the belt. Unbuckle belt
7. Put on shoes
8. Stand up. Get rudely interrupted mid launch by loving headphones you forgot about

Roll luck rolls for each step to not bump into table with your drinks and crap

If you are on window seat, repeat the entire process for neighbour too. Neighbour is dazed from being woken up and flaps around meekly trying to untangle himself.

the cabin is constantly swapping out air... so unless you're making GBS threads yourself or you're surrounded by people with bowel problems you shouldn't be huffing more farts than normal.

I always get exit row window seat. All leg room you need and you never have to get up. About changing seats after door closes: if someone tries to take exit row middle instead of row 31 middle I tell them to get the gently caress out. I paid good money for the seat and I fly 50-60 times a year.

Go back to steerage you poor.

All I was trying to say is that there should be a minimum standard of service airlines have to meet so that companies can't keep cutting things and forcing the bigger airlines to drive up their prices to make up for the people willing to be treated like actual cattle and would probably even stand the whole flight if it meant they could save 10 bucks.

e: in other words, incentivize adding features/comfort while keeping an affordable rate to get more customers instead of racing to the bottom.

sounds like government regulations to me. doubt we'll be seeing many new of these any time soon.
