#2I would really like this on trans-continental flights. I don't want the frills of Business but I just want a seat that reclines more than 100 degrees - perhaps 180.

#3I was expecting some kind of fancy seats, like business class but more packed. It's simply about sleeping sideway on 3 or 4 normal seats because these flights are far from being full.

#4> This concept isn't new -- Air New Zealand has offered its Economy Skycoach, which is a similar premise, since 2011.

#5To recline or not to recline?

#6For $250 it’s a bargain on a long flight. I once did an 11 hour flight without an upgrade but was fortunate the flight was nearly empty. Everyone got their own row and it made the flight far more pleasant.
Fortunately was upgraded on the way home.

#7So this means that if the plane is empty they'll now forbid passengers from using 3 seats and ask them to pay instead?

Yeah, this works pretty well. It’s cosy, like a small single bed but big enough for two people if you know each other well. Good to have on Air NZ’s 10hr+ flights.

Business has gotten closer to just that and nothing else. 3 years ago I ate amazing food on TAP business class, now a month ago I just left it there and ate almonds that I brought with me in case.

Agree - once got an unexpectedly good night’s sleep coming back from Thailand in the same way.
