Airline Luxury
When choosing hotel rooms, some of us require a room with a view. Same with choosing seats when we check-in for a flight, some of just prefer to have a window seat. And soon, Boeing is going to give you the possibility of choosing another window with a view option… you can soon go to a loo with a view.
"Boeing plans to offer restrooms with views as standard equipment on its new 787 airliners."And air travelers can expect even more changes.
"Airbus' A380, the huge new double-decker that seats 550 and offers unheard-of amenities. Among the carrier's options are showers, on-board massage stations, stand-up bars, duty-free shops — even a sort of flat-panel waterfall.
Boeing's smaller 787 Dreamliners compete with subtler enticements. A ventilation system that delivers higher cabin humidity, for example, is meant to reduce eye and nose dryness. At the same time, higher cabin pressure will make travelers feel like they're flying at a relatively comfortable 6,000 feet, rather than 8,000 as in current planes."

Unfortunately, for some who only travels economy, these airlines' way of planning to woo customers do not include bigger leg rooms.
