A passenger seating arrangement for use in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement comprising a column of seat units arranged in an inwardly facing herringbone. Each seat unit is configurable between a seating configuration and a flat-bed configuration. Each seat unit has an access opening for accessing the respective seat unit. At least one of the seat units is configurable into a disabled-access configuration in which an access opening is temporarily widened by moving part of a foot-receiving structure, for enabling a disabled passenger to access the seat unit.

An aircraft interior structure may include a passenger seating section proximate to a passenger compartment including an aircraft seat. The aircraft interior structure may include a seat extension cavity defined within the passenger seating section. The seat extension cavity may correspond to the aircraft seat. The aircraft interior structure may include a bassinet cavity defined within the passenger seating section proximate to the seat extension cavity. The bassinet cavity may be configured to receive a bassinet via an opening in the surface of the aircraft interior structure within the passenger compartment. The bassinet cavity and the bassinet may be accessible from the passenger compartment via the opening in the surface of the aircraft interior structure. The bassinet may be positioned in the bassinet cavity at a location selected to provide an unobstructed line of sight between the aircraft seat and an interior of the bassinet.

An aircraft sideboard includes a first portion with a first top surface and a first panel. The first top surface is disposed substantially horizontally at a first height and the first panel is disposed substantially vertically adjacent to the first top surface. A second portion is disposed adjacent to the first portion at a first end of the first portion. The second portion includes a second top surface and a second panel. The second top surface is disposed substantially horizontally at a second height and the second panel is disposed substantially vertically adjacent to the second top surface. A table is stowed interiorly to the first portion. The table extends from the first portion when deployed. The first top surface is immovable. The table deploys by tilting the first panel along a pivot axis defined adjacent to a bottom end thereof. The first height is greater than the second height.

Improved seating arrangements for a vehicle cabin of a passenger transport system, in particular of an aircraft are disclosed. Examples herein provide improved seating arrangements providing a high density of seats and increased PAX numbers while ensuring privacy, comfort and a direct aisle access to each passenger. For example, the seating arrangements provided herein are applicable to narrow body aircrafts and wide body aircrafts, in particular in view of business class solutions.

Lateral sleep systems for aircraft are disclosed. A divider is located between a first seat and a second seat of the aircraft. The divider includes a first panel oriented toward the first seat and a second panel oriented toward the second seat. The first panel defines a first support ledge. The second panel defines a second support ledge. A first lateral sleep apparatus positioned on a first side of the divider adjacent the first seat includes a first headrest and a first cradle. The first cradle supports the first headrest and includes a first panel mounting interface coupling the first headrest to the first support ledge. A second lateral sleep apparatus positioned on a second side of the divider adjacent the second seat includes a second headrest and a second cradle. The second cradle supports the second headrest and includes a second panel mounting interface coupling the second headrest to the second support ledge.

An arrangement of individual seats for installation in an aeroplane cabin having a first set of two seats and a second set of two seats, each seat having an axis and being convertible between a sitting position and an extended position, said arrangement having a longitudinal axis. The arrangement also includes (i) a first central console having a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions relative to each other and respectively associated with the first seat of the first set and the first seat of the second set and (ii) a second central console having a first foot area and a second foot area open in two opposite directions relative to each other and respectively associated with the second seat of the first set and the second seat of the second set.

A seating arrangement for a vehicle cabin includes a first group having a number of seats and a second group having a number of seats. Each group extends laterally adjacent to each other along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle cabin. The first group having twice as many seats as the second group with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle cabin.

An aircraft seat arrangement including a plurality of aircraft seat devices which are arranged in an aircraft cabin section and are designed to be at least partially different from one another and each have an aircraft seat which is designed as a full-flat seat, wherein the aircraft seat devices in the aircraft cabin section differ in at least one comfort category, wherein the aircraft seat devices for the at least one comfort category each have a mutually different value which is caused by a different arrangement of the aircraft seats and by the at least partially different design of the aircraft seat devices.

A side-facing aircraft passenger seat having a head rest, seat back, seat bottom and leg rest moveable between an upright seating position and a lie flat sleeping position, and including a plurality of air bags positioned in at least partially surrounding orientation in relation to the seat and inflatable to provide comfort and protection to a seat occupant while in the lie flat sleeping position. The seat may be oriented obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

In an illustrative embodiment of an aircraft cabin passenger seating arrangement, first and second adjacent passenger seats are positioned at different angles with reference to a longitudinal axis of an aircraft, and longitudinally offset from each other such that the first seat is positioned forward of the second seat by an amount less than a length of the second passenger seat when in the lie-flat position. The first and second adjacent passenger seats may be longitudinally offset from a third passenger seat separated from the second passenger seat by an aisle, the third passenger seat disposed proximate a fourth passenger seat, such that a row of passenger seats includes two staggered groups of passenger seating. The first passenger seat may be vertically offset from the second passenger seat.
