Steps are designed with
alternate raisers to
accommodate comfortable and
safe access to the upper level
given the limited space
Elevated (upper) seat can

This is an example showing the middle section of a large aircraft with rows of 4 seats. Every other row is
elevated allowing for leg room for the seat behind it which is at conventional height.Elevated seats are reduced

- Lower seat folds vertically to allow passenger to access luggage space under elevated seat. This feature also
helps create sufficient space for lower passenger to access lower seats when upper seat is fully reclined.
- Handling luggage while away from the isle improves boarding and deplaning times
Lower passenger seat slides forward to allow space for the backrest to recline, thus upper and lower
passenger have same comfort
Companies that currently do not pay for business travel for their employees would be interested in providing this
more affordable reclining in order to have their employees arrive rested and more productive.
Surface cost of Economy-FLEX is approximately 20% more than conventional economy, providing a 45 degree
or better recline. This increased comfort makes the difference between the ability to sleep versus
sleep-deprivation on long flights
