Up and away
Article Abstract:
A combination of innovative designing and skilled engineering has led to the commissioning of the more comfortable and more private 'individual mini cabins' in British Airways' (BA) planes. These cabins, named as First cabins, can be used as a mini office, a dining room for two, or as a bedroom with a full length bed. This innovative design of airline seats has been registered internationally by BA under seven separate patents. Translating the idea of uninterrupted sleep and total privacy during travel has been a major challenge for design consultants and implementation engineers.
