I just saw a photo gallery on a news portal site with pictures of the interior of an Airbus A380 (lots of open space, big seats, bars, etc. etc.)... and my first thought was, "well, sure, that's one way to divide up the interior, but I wonder how many airlines will just stuff it full of seats in the cattle class in order to get more revenue per flight".

Oh, yeah. I saw a Boeing commercial this week that showed just 6 seats across on some enormous plane -- it looked like a luxury line, and I thought, "yeah, right." In my dreams I don't get that much space on an airplane.

I was going to say "EOS Airlines", but they appear to have gone bankrupt in April.

I saw some pictures of the interior of their planes several months ago, and it was pretty spacious. (Of course, the price tag for a ticket was pretty hefty -- ISTR reading the figure of $9999 as an example.)

Clicking around Wikipedia, L'Avion seems to be vaguely similar as an "all-Business class", the only of the four inter-linked such airlines that remains in business, but their seats are nothing compared to Eos's.
