For when you need that extra touch of luxury

Great if you intend to spend a couple of hours reading the whole newspaper. Bit on the essentric side.

I can see it being a very easy thing to get on and off, with those use of generous "armchair arms".

But I have also seen some people who could not get fully onto the seat. Granted the arms give more comfort when cornering at anything over 60 mph.

I can see some Americans being restricted from using that toilet as they would not fit onto it due to this arm rests. I know one or two other nationalilities as well with the same problems.

My son is a Brit Airways captain flying Air bus A321's medium and short haul.. A few months ago a XXXXXL young British woman ( he estimated her to be probably 30 stone), managed to get into the toilet on the plane. A few minutes later she was banging and yelling for help because she was unable to turn around to open the door. She was totally jammed in the tiny space.

 

The cabin crew suggested various things but the woman was by now having a serious panic attack and screaming the place down. She was wedged against the door so tightly the cabin crew could not open it from the outside so the cabin crew had to break the door off its mounts to get to her. By all accounts it was not a pretty sight because she had been unable to "adjust her clothing".  They were then unable to help her because there was no room for more than one of them to get to her and none of them had the physical strength to move a fattie weighing a fifth of a ton. Fortunately they were only 20 minutes inbound to Heathrow, otherwise the plane would have had to be diverted. Some burly ground crew boarded and prised her into the gangway after the passengers had left the plane.

 

They aint all in the USA

That much is obvious any time you go shopping.

It's these sorts of occurrences that make flying worth while.

Sounds quite horrific for the crew, not a pretty sight. Getting back to the piccie, it looks pretty comfy

A agree with you Alan, they all ain't in the USA. But the majority are.
