Formation Design’s blended cabin is part of a new trend of designers proposing that airlines think beyond tradition cabin class marketing. The notion of a lay-flat Premium Economy is exciting.

12 Best Long-Haul Airline Seats in the Sky to Fly in 2016

Airlines design their planes around their sales and marketing models, but it’s the comfort features that count in the long-haul.
