In early July, the travel newsphere was in light turbulence over “vertical seats” becoming a money-saving possibility for shorter commercial flights. This story by CNN explained that the invention could increase passenger capacity by 21% and knock as much as 44% off ticket prices.
The best part of this what-if story was by far everyone’s reactions on social media. Here are some first class responses to this economy class seating option:
One guy was just straight up, like:
Okay, let’s talk about a compromise, people.
You’re joking, right? Is this a trick?
This guy is onto something! Can we get a Nobel Peace Prize over here?!
Wait, there are more of you? Where can I buy tickets on the free beer airline?
Hold up, airplane snobs, some of us are not above this half sitting/half standing thing.
In fact, some of us just want standing freedom altogether. Stand up!
The people have spoken.
