Airlines have to make a profit (it's hard life these days for the big boys with all these cut price budget flights) and more bums on seats is sure to please the accounting department. Acumen Design Associates and Premimum Aircraft Interior group have come up with this new design called the flying sardine. The funky sitting arrangement fits in an extra column of seating to allow three ways battles of armrest elbow bashing. The design will be presented at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg. If approved, it could see the cost of flying come down - we're thinking collect three pepsi tokens and you can fly around the world in cramped misery.

The two seats facing forward one seat facing rear concept leaves little room for personal space and puts leg room at an absolute minimum. Back packers are already said to be delighted by the news.
