We're baselining an experience better than domestic first class. One seat on each side of aisle, so everyone gets a window and aisle. There's more footroom and more headroom than the typical first class on a 737 or A320.

But this is something airlines can customize.

Ah, I see; it wasn't obvious from the pictures on your site that the plane is significantly smaller, closer to commuter-jet sized than 747-sized.

What's the total plane seat capacity?

In case you didn't see earlier comments, they said it was 40 seats.
