Air travel is not fun for everyone. Between the tight spaces and the stress caused by the altitude, it is not always easy to be able to relax during the hours of flight. Airlines are increasingly taking passenger discomfort into account, which is why they are redoubling their efforts to make aircraft as comfortable as possible. Bed seats or even entire studios have been installed by Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates, and by Air France, which reserves them for its first class. The aeronautical manufacturer Airbus is behind a somewhat different initiative:in partnership with the French company Zodiac Aerospace, it has unveiled its project to transform the holds which usually accommodate goods into luxurious dormitories. A priori very comfortable berths (sleeping in a horizontal position and not split in two on your rigid seat... YES!) would be made available to travelers in what Airbus officials call "modules", in other words cabins which would guarantee limited privacy.
Other modules intended for different activities have been designed, including a conference area (understand from where businesswomen and businessmen can work in peace), one reserved for medical care, a "lounge" to stretch their legs or another cabin specially designed for families and children in particular. A haven of peace that seems perfectly suited to crying babies and children who are anxious or simply bored. If the cost of such developments has not been revealed by Airbus, it goes without saying that they will necessarily have an impact on the price of the flight. It could be that the Airbus A350 XWB, a long-haul airliner of the company, will be the first to be equipped with these berths and comfort zones after 2020. Patience, then… And you, you would like to pay more how expensive is your ticket to enjoy all these advantages?
