Flying economy is difficult enough for the average passenger. Plus-sized passengers have it even worse. A few weeks ago I wrote about airlines with the least amount of leg room and it really opened my eyes to this fact. Luckily, not all airlines offer a terrible flying experience. Some of them offer...

A London based design firm designed seats that could be adjusted to fit oversized passengers, but this just means making everyone pay for the gap in between. This doesn’t seem to solve the problem because now thin people will pay the price and overweight people will still splill into their allotted space, so agreed, someone needs to solve this problem still.
Transforming Airline Seats Adjust Width for Each Passenger
A London design firm has come up with the Transformer of airline seats that would allow an airline to adjust the width of the individual chairs between flights based on passenger needs.
Air Ticket Arena is the first fully automated platform, which matches unsold seats on scheduled flights with air travellers actively looking to travel on short notice.
Here's how it works:
1. Airlines set the % of seats they want to sell (the âload factorâ), 24 and 48 hours before depart... Read more

There are exceptions. Air New Zealand once turned a Boeing 777 into a giant ad for Lord of the Rings, Mango, based in Johannesburg, utilises a bright orange hue, while Siberian carrier S7 tends to colour its planes lime green. But the vast majority of passenger aircraft are painted white. Why?
These look cool. Not sure what range they have but I know a guy at work who would love one, He is always jumping out of the office into the carpark to watch planes go over as he has an app that pings him whenever there is something nearby. Last week it was a bunch of ww2 spitfires and before that it was one of those weird jumbos with a big round radar thing on top. He would buy it, but not sure who else would.
WATCHES NEWS !!! Tokyoflash has created a radar watch that scans the skies (or your wrist) Tokyoflash is one of my favorite watchmakers. Unabashedly analog, ...
Airbus claim they are going to make this, one day.
How will they keep the bugs off the windscreen? Airbus unveil the transparent plane we'll be flying around in come 2050 (but maybe not those with a fear of flying)
https://liquiglide.com/ might have a coating that could help this. I think it’s for all sorts of surfaces that need to be non-stick.

AT Arena is a bit of a joke and scammy – as far as I know, there isn’t an app that does this properly.
air ticket arena does this i think
Bidroom should do this, no reason why the airlines won’t give them the discount tickets to auction off.
Even just colored planes would be an improvement, though there are reasons they are usually white.
They are missing a trick here – there are loads of aerial advertising types from blimps to banners behind planes. why not underneath jumbos?
