I've read it five times and still don't understand the concept of seats going above others when reclined.
I can't work it out from the pictures either.
Not a layout I would chose to fly on. Give me the cosy little Gatwick 747 Upper cabin any day.

Agreed with Dicky - absolutely no thanks! Who'd want to pay for First/Biz/Premium seat and still be surrounded by the Economy cabin? Part of the package is the exclusivity of your own cabin.

Think you need to read the PDF link.
http://news.formationdesign.com/wp-cont ... pt_r31.pdfConcept looks good.
Seem the Business class seat the leg raise to lie flat, while PE either side slide under.
Only downside is you are surrounded by PE passengers, so not ideal if travelling in a group.

Well it would be handy for my butler / valet / secretary to be near me to wait on me and meet my every need and whim but certainly not if it was 'ordinary' people allowed in the cabin.

I get it now.
Each Upper Class passenger gets four set of feet under their bed. Two at the head and two at the foot end.
Sounds great unless you have any sense of smell left.

I would think it's a no too.
Imagine that you've paid a lot for the "suite" to be able to get some sleep. ou would then have 4 people below you - perhaps 4 friends (or a family of 2 adults, 2 kids) - how much noise would there be (even at normal level of speech, not even contemplating anyone with a booming voice) just below you. I can't imagine it would be good for anyone wanting to rest/sleep.
