I expect they'll have different seat configurations for longer range planes. 3-4hrs is fine but I can't see how anyone would want to fly 8 hours with the legroom common in Ryanair or Spirit.

I mean, people have been trying to make transatlantic low-cost happen for a while now. not successfully, but people have tried.

> 8 hours with the legroom common in Ryanair or Spirit

At this point I’d rather just stand like in a bus
