New last-row design reimagines the worst seat on an airplane as a ‘semi-private retreat’

The last row of economy are the airplane seats few people want to sit in. There’s no room to recline your seat and the constant line for the bathroom — not to mention the smell — can be overwhelming.

But what if the space could be transformed into something more appealing?

Imagine a secluded pod, screened off from aisle or bathroom noise and built to give you more space for carry-on luggage.

If this sounds appealing, Collins Aerospace agrees.

The aviation design company has flipped the script, taking this last-choice seat and making it one worth fighting for.
