Family Cabins to Debut on Thomson Airways 737 MAX Aircraft
Skift Take
If designers and trends watchers keep pushing airlines to think beyond the Class-Divide cabin, we might see more imaginative structuring of the aircraft cabin on the major carriers too. Time will tell.

Thomson Airways -- which helps define leisure travel in Europe -- has thought outside the fuselage when planning its new cabin interiors for its Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, bringing the coziness of travel by train to the skies.
There's lots of talk of intermodal travel these days, but that usually involves one form of transport taking you directly to another seamlessly. Instead, Thomson blends the best of two modes of travel into what promises to be a unique travel experience in the skies.
The leisure airline says this forms part of "a five-year vision to change the face of holiday flying." It will introduce new, more efficient and comfortable aircraft, add more long-haul destinations and introduce "innovative on-board product and service concepts,." the airline states.
Thomson Airways announced that it will add two more Dreamliners and take delivery of 47 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft by 2020, modernizing Thomson Airways' fleet
