Airplane Seat Controls
Seen on Cathay Pacific (HKK-ICN):
It’s a bit difficult to see in the photo, but the seat controls are angled slightly towards the seat they control (if you get my drift). It’s subtle yet very clear, avoiding that awkward intrusion of personal space when the person next to you messes with your controls by mistake. The seats also had foot steps (for reaching up to the overhead bins) — I like that.
Someone really thought about the usability of those seats (I didn’t like the tray table release, though.)
(The plane was a 737-300.)
