Budget airlines are constantly trying to find ways to keep their costs down, whether that’s removing in-flight meals or charging extra for cabin bags, but now it seems they could go one step further by bringing in standing-only seats.
A handful of European budget airlines are reportedly planning to remove some of their economy seats to swap them for standing seats, according to Euro Weekly News. Known as the Skyrider 2.0, the new seat design, which is shaped like a saddle, is an improvement from the original that was first touted in 2018.
