Quoting jetblue1965 (Reply 46): Pretty sure it's rear-facing also getting the aisle facing ... and we haven't seen a picture of how the center seats are configured. Maybe it's reversed there (front face aisle and rear face in) ? |
You can see in the back of the second photo on AA's website that the last row faces backwards and towards the aisle. if they were to reverse the layout for the central seats then every aisle passenger would end up directly facing another passenger.
Quoting VSLover (Reply 47): but i am still baffled on how a single pair of these seats can occupy the whole center section. |
Presumably there will be two columns of seats in the centre section, like every other herringbone layout out there?
Quoting klkla (Reply 48): The materials used look really nice but to be honest those seats are going to be awkward having to face the other passenger at such a close distance. |
I agree. Even an average person whose head rests directly on the centre of the headrest is going to be starting straight at the person at their feet and will be able to see the person right next to them in their peripheral vision. In terms of style and design though, these seats do look very nice.
