Monday, February 12

The Berkshire Eagle published an article entitled "American plans high-tech seating" on Sunday, February 11. American Airlines plans to install new luxury seating on plans between Boston and Paris and Boston and London this coming summer and fall. These seats are great investments, for I know that I would definitely pay a higher price for these seats. These new luxury seats feature video entertainment systems with "10 movies, 50 music albums, a 'privacy divider' between pairs of seats, and a two-part tray big enough for both a laptop and a drink or meal." This is not all, for these sets also include a feature which allows them to become flat, converting almost completely into a bed. These seats may initiate more people to fly red-eye flights. They are very convenient and definitely worth spending a bit more on flight tickets. This is a great example of the demand promoting the supply, for people have complained for years about the seating provided in airplanes. American Airlines is one of the first to recognize that perhaps it is worth the money to invest in new, multi-functional seating. I believe that these will be a big hit, and within the next few years, all seating in all airplanes will be these new multi-feature luxury seats.
