An airplane, system and passenger cabin comprising columns and rows (fig 1B) of recliners 220a-e in the form of compartments 106c-d is disclosed. Each recliner 220a-e comprises a rotatable and releasably lockable chair 232a-e with a detached ottoman/footrest 234a-e (which may also be used as a seat), towards which the chair faces after rotation from a first angular position (generally facing the front of the plane), through an angle of greater than 10 degrees, to a second angular position (facing a second stowable table 228). Chair rotation to a third angular position (perpendicular to the first) allows the chair to face a first table 226a-e, window 236 or removable divider/partition (fig 1B, 122 & 146, from which a recliner support may also be formed). When fully reclined (fig 3B), the armrests (314) and upper surface of the seat (312) are generally flush. Chair 232a-e (and fig 3A) also comprises an indicator (323 and fig 3D) which indicates when the chair is locked in to the first angular or any other desired position. |
