The seating setup - called Cozy Suite - caught our eye, as it seems to offer a solution for those among us who end up inadvertently nodding off on the shoulder of an unwitting seatmate.

The new “Cozy Suite” seats are “a major step forward in passenger comfort” and cater towards the growing size of passengers. However, no Australian-based airlines have purchased the seats as yet. The seats are staggered in a bid to create a more private space and also provide passengers with a place to rest their head while sleeping. By staggering the seats and overlapping the armrests, the company could increase the width of each seat to 50 centimetres and a knee space of 78 centimetres, five centimetres more than other airline seats.
The return of in-flight Dignity Peter Martin - Esquire Magazine Jan 21st 2009
No one likes to see suffering. It's why there aren't tours at a veal farm, why Virginia is separate from West Virginia , and on airplanes, why there's a curtain between first class and coach. But after years of having cost-saving indignities forced upon him, the ordinary traveller has reason for hope: The "cozy suite" making coach-class shame - if not the curtain - a little less necessary. No matter the size of your neighbour, his largesse is in front of or behind you - never pressed tightly against. Each seat has a curved shoulder, giving you something to lean against that's not attached to a stranger.
