The Latest in Airplane “Double-Decker Seats”: A Luxurious Business Class for Two

At the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) held in Hamburg, Germany, from May 28 to 30, the latest mockup of double-decker seats was unveiled.

This concept was advocated by Alejandro Núñez Vicente, a 24-year-old entrepreneur from Spain, and developed through funding and advice from sponsors. An economy class version was introduced in 2022, and an improved version was displayed in 2023. This year, the luxurious business class seats, dubbed “ELEVATED CLASS”, were introduced, marking a departure from the previous iterations.

The second-floor seats, accessible by climbing three steps, are 101 centimeters wide, accommodating two people in one seat. They offer storage for two carry-on cases and two backpacks, with a bed length of 202 centimeters. In contrast, the first-floor seats are narrower at 61 centimeters wide but offer a longer bed length of 225 centimeters. Both levels are equipped with 32-inch monitors. This setup is said to provide a first-class experience in business class, while also improving profitability through increased seat capacity.

AIX has been known for revealing unique and sometimes wild product concepts, including standing seats.
