Airbus is working on getting a new higher density version of the A220-300 certified. This will happen thanks to an extra set of exits over the wings, and it’ll boost the plane’s maximum capacity from 149 seats to 160 seats.

I'm summary:

  • Cram 2 more rows in
  • Add extra emergency door over wing
  • Add extra flight attendant
  • Tilt seats from 30" to 28"

    I'm envisioning a bicycle-style "seat" that just barely allows a passenger to prop up his or her pelvis, as long as feet are planted on the floor. You have to sit up perfectly straight to balance. Armrests are optional with a fee. Extra padding is optional with a fee.
