When you have long flights it's nice to have space to walk around the cabin, go to the back and have a drink etc.

Also I feel like even if you are sitting the whole time, there's a difference in perception between sitting in a small confined space vs sitting in a space that is larger.

Imagine how much GHG emissions they could reduce if authorities let them innovate on pods or bunk beds.

Heck just give me bean bag or even a yoga mat and I’ll be happy.

They already tried to implement it years ago, or at-least Michael O'Leary claims so.
