It’s a simple idea; start with standard economy seats (step 1). Stagger the seats to free up arm and shoulder space (step 2). Overlapping the armrests allows seat width to be increased 2” (High Comfort). Adding another column of seats (on twin aisle aircraft) increases capacity by up to 15% whilst maintaining seat width and pitch (High Capacity).

Step 1	Step 2	High Comfort	High Capacity

Staggering the seats and overlapping the armrests gives every passenger their own pair of armrests and provides even the largest passengers plenty of room for their elbows and shoulders, whilst the airline has the choice to increase capacity or increase legroom (seat pitch) – or a bit of both. Seat width (the dimension between the armrests) is also increased.

And instead of 120 standard seats

we have 132 Beetles
