How easy is it to interact with the IFE screen when it's deployed? I do agree that the full remote is probably unnecessary if the screen is easy to reach, and that select buttons should just be integrated elsewhere

Super easy, like most aisle-facing herringbones. I think the only use is *possibly* #a11y but not massively convinced there. Or maybe gaming, but it’s no PS5, and what games do I need a terrible controller for?

It really seems like we could do away with these by now. But hey, I look forward to adding it to my collection in a few years

oh that is a *fascinating* arrangement!

It really is! It might look like what Virgin Atlantic was doing back in 2003 (and in general design/kinematic principle it essentially is) but it goes *completely* back to first principles in so many ways, and runs into so many intriguing engineering problems, with so many fascinating compromises.

Why is there *really* a row of middle-seat-blocked Eurobusiness? (It’s not what you think, or what’s been reported.) What’s underneath the Mount Blankets of pillows and linens, and how is it entirely unprecedented in modern aviation? How does that blue plastic divider make the entire seat work?
