This is the seat that becomes a bed that an airline has installed in its economy class

The airline Thomas Cook Airlines has installed flat seats so that customers can enjoy and relax while traveling.

The UK-based airline launches a "Sit down to sleep" on their long-haul routes aboard their Airbus A330.

The service will be available at a surcharge for flights starting May 13th.

The seat is transformed by the pbadengers They buy a "comfortable" mattress that slides across a row of three hidden seats at the back of the plane.

The sleeping seats, which measure 148 cm by 67 cm, are already on sale and must be reserved before traveling.

Reservation prices range from $ 265 per trip, once a standard economy ticket has been purchased.

If this service is purchased, will the cost of the flight increase?

For example, a return flight between Manchester and New York in economy clbad in June costs 475 USD, if you want to add a place to sleep during both trips, 265 USD each, the price goes to just over 1000 dollars.

Obviously, buying a seat to sleep costs less than three independent cheap tickets, but there are only four per flight.

Other routes where places are available are San Francisco, Orlando and Cancun.

Travelers can ask the cabin crew to turn the row into a bed once the seat belt signals have been released after takeoff.

All sleeping seats also come with an adjustable sheet, a headrest, a pillow, a blanket and a maintenance kit. A seatbelt extender is also available for those who wish to lie down while keeping the seatbelt.

The other plus point is that before and after bed, you get a whole row for yourself.

If the pbadengers have ordered a meal in flight, the cabin crew will turn the seats into bed once the service is completed.

The seat is available for adults and children over 12 years old.

Henry Sunley, commercial director of Thomas Cook Airlines, said: "We are always looking for innovative ways for our customers, and the sleep seat is the first in the UK. which we are really proud of. "

"It's also flexible because even though only one person can use the seat at once, it can be exchanged with other people in your group during the flight … but it's up to you to decide if you want to share. "

The sleeping seats are located at the back of Thomas Cook's Airbus A330 aircraft. But not on flights to and from Cuba.
