Maersk Air offer extra large seats
Larger passengers on board Maersk Air flights to Scandinavia are being given the chance to buy extra-wide economy seats. According to a report in The Times, the airline is getting rid of its business class service and introducing a range of options: small, medium, large and extra large seats. The small seat will have a pitch of 29 inches (the same as Ryanair and easyJet), medium seats will have an extra four inches of leg room, large seats an extra eight inches, while the extra large seats will give eight inches extra but will also be 50% wider. The newspaper reports that a small seat costs GBP45, medium and large GBP90, and the extra large option will be GBP270. Barry Prior, the carrier’s UK general manager, reportedly told the newspaper that larger passengers would not be obliged to pay for the bigger seats. He added: “But they will be able to choose how much room they want to buy. Previously the only choice for bigger people was to buy a business class seat, which might be six times as expensive as an economy seat.” Report by Tim Gillett, News From Abroad
