People’s reactions to money-saving “vertical seats” on flights is first class

In early July, the travel newsphere was in light turbulence over “vertical seats” becoming a money-saving possibility for shorter commercial flights. This story by CNN explained that the invention could increase passenger capacity by 21% and knock as much as 44% off ticket prices.

The best part of this what-if story was by far everyone’s reactions on social media. Here are some first class responses to this economy class seating option:

One guy was just straight up, like:

Okay, let’s talk about a compromise, people.

You’re joking, right? Is this a trick?

This guy is onto something! Can we get a Nobel Peace Prize over here?!

Wait, there are more of you? Where can I buy tickets on the free beer airline?

Hold up, airplane snobs, some of us are not above this half sitting/half standing thing.

 In fact, some of us just want standing freedom altogether. Stand up!

The people have spoken.
