A design that reconfigures airplane cabins with double-decker lie-flat seats in premium economy is being touted as a possible solution for fliers looking for more protection from the spread of COVID-19.

Zephyr Seat is the vision of designer Jeffrey O'Neill, who reckons the isolation from fellow passengers that his creation will offer could be a game changer in the wake of the pandemic.

"I'm on probably the best rated airline in the world, and I'm getting wonderful service and the food is edible, but I can't sleep," he recalls."This is really uncomfortable. Why is it so difficult to find an affordable way to lie flat on a flight that's 19 hours?"But O'Neill found himself remembering a long-distance bus journey he'd made on a trip through Argentina.

The result, O'Neill says, is more passenger leg room without the airline being forced to sacrifice space or reduce passenger headcount. The next stage would be passing the product through the required safety tests, which could be a three-year process.Of course, a question mark currently hangs over aviation's future, with no one quite knowing what air travel is going to look like over the next few months, let alone years.

Where will stop the ridiculous...😔

Nope. Can you imagine a family with kids flying on one of these? How about the Karen’s and Frank’s?

Not acceptable!

Try to figure out first an efficient filtration system before recirculating air on airline cooling system.
