- I visited Aircraft Interiors Expo 2024 (AIX) in Hamburg. Many new inventions of aircraft seats and products are on display for the first time. Take a look at the full show recap.
The new conceptual MAYA from Collins Aerospace and Panasonic is a next-gen Business Class suite with full cinema experience. This immersive suite blows away previous inflight entertainment experiences as you can feel the movie with motion inside the suite.
Airline executives from Qatar Airways, Air France, and Cathay Pacific spoke and teased their upcoming new products including the new Qsuite 2.0, new La Premiere (Air France First Class), and Cathay Pacific's new Business Class; Aria Suite.
Next, the airspace cabins of A330neo and A321XLR are on display at Airbus. There is also new sustainable overhead bin cover and bulkhead divider design made of lighter recyclable materials. At Delta flight product, the cleverly designed wheelchair space allows wheelchair users to board and stay on the aircraft with their own wheelchair.
Boeing displays the full cabin mock-up of 777X and 787 and the “Perch” doorway creates a “third” space for passengers onboard. Aviointeriors; the seat manufacturer from Italy showcased their current mid-tier Economy seat MYA and Premium seat Plus. Stelia Aerospace has debuted a lightweight 65kg Business Class seat called Opera Essential which is mechanical without the heavy motor and screens.
Thales, the inflight entertainment company explained about future cabin connectivity and how streaming will be the future of inflight entertainment on aircraft. Starlink will install fast internet across the Qatar Airways fleet in the next 2 years.
On the amenities side, I visited Formia, to see the latest inflight amenities from Japan Airlines and American Airlines. Caynova highlighted their heating/cooling seat capability and finally, Chaise Lounge came up with another double-decker design focused on Premium Business Class.

Glad to see the aviation industry is looking for more efficient ways to stack up economy passengers like sardines in a can while simultaneously offering better and larger spaces for the business class. They are keeping up with what is going on on the ground.
Nothing like further promoting the division of classes in the air. 👍🏽
We're honestly at a point where I have to wonder if these economy class seats are breaking human rights violations. That legroom and general space is AWFUL
However good humor it is the only goodie which we, the economy people, can still use in plenty☺☺
You get what you pay for
@@dummynodepanda pretty sure biden administration and the zionist elites are behind it
As a regular middle class salaried man, I see that the rich folks are going to have a blast while the economy ones will be shoved with ridiculous concepts to make our journey even more difficult.
@@stevenbelzer9768 wha whaa speak english u kno??
Such is life. Get right or get left
@@OG364U unfortunately, that's true , take it or leave it.
You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it! Now go eat your bugs!
@@jamesm3471 lol wut? You alright bro?
Many of these ideas would be great for passenger trains.
Especially anything that gives you a private-like experience... Nightjet in Europe even has capsule beds for their sleeper services which is a concept that previous shows for aircraft seating exhibited...
that maya business class is beautiful
looks like a premium first class! never in my life would i expect business class to look like this, even if its nothing more than a concept.
Sam I wasn’t expecting about the breakthrough on civil aviation that would assist wheelchairs users. Please guide me on what company is manufacturing those seats so that I can approach airlines in Europe. As a disabled person I found it very hard when being lifted to and from the plane seat. Top marks!
I hope delta doesn't make passengers in a wheelchair pay for two seats.
Collins Aerospace
@@Robert-iv9oq thank you so much.
@@robkrauss👀
I wonder how they are going to put people there. Normally the aisles are very narrow, much narrower than a normal wheelchair.
Everything is quite impressive. The MAYA, Cathay Pacific's new layout, the ambience and the extra room on the A330neo, the handicapped accessibility 👌🏼, even the airline branded amenity kits are great, makes the experience extra special. I also love the idea of the perch for long haul flights, it is awesome.
I'm glad to hear that you had a positive experience with Cathay Pacific's new layout and amenities. The attention to detail and focus on comfort for all passengers, including those with disabilities, is commendable. The perch for long haul flights is definitely a unique and innovative idea. Happy travels!
Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Cathay Pacific. We take pride in providing excellent service and amenities for all of our passengers, including those with special needs. We hope to continue to impress you on future flights.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We are thrilled that you enjoyed all the new features and amenities on our A330neo aircraft. We strive to provide our passengers with a top-notch experience, and we are glad to hear that we have succeeded in making your journey extra special. We look forward to welcoming you on board again soon!
I'm a cabin mechanic and this is eye candy for me❤
That maya seat is both a headache and money for mechs cause it’s gonna be breaking down so much and costing a fortune to repair.
First one looks cool, but a really don't need a massive screen so close to my face. Looks like they tried to make the space smaller to cram more passengers in.
In a movie theater the seats directly in front of the screen are the worst, so why copy this here?
And you are paying business class price for that too 😂 @@antjee
Thank you for the information about Aviointeriors. I will reach out to European airlines to explore the availability of these innovative seats for wheelchair users. Appreciate your support and good luck wishes!
Thank you for the information! I will definitely reach out to Molon Labe Seating and see how we can potentially collaborate with airlines in Europe. I am excited about the possibilities this breakthrough can bring for wheelchair users in civil aviation.
Yes, my point exactly. I bet they will increase the business class price and try to use the tech to justify
“We’re thinking about GenZ and Gen Alpha clients” those m’fers can barely afford McDonald’s, let alone business class on these airlines. I’m so confused who these are for
for the rich people of course.. You know that we have a lot of rich folks?!
For the rest, horse stalls & straddles are provided.
Millennials are in their 40s now. Many of them work for companies who are paying for the tickets. People don't realize how small the % is of people who are actually PAYING full price for business class. Majority of the time it's a points upgrade or their work is paying....
The highborn and the corporate foot soldiers (and it's a concept they won't sell for quite so time, so they mean when people of those generations grow up and are sent on business travel or can afford it themselves). In the meantime just supereconomy flash sale vacations lol
Its for all the tech bros, overpaid silicon valley script kiddies, "musicians" and influencers
5 windows in La Premiere?! Amazing! The product was already very nice with amazing space, and now even more!
I just hope AF gets rid of the cheesy curtains in "la premiere"?
@@antjee Cheesy? How? They are almost universally seen by passengers as far more private (floor to ceiling), 'airy' and space saving, rather than very low cut sliding doors which are also far more claustrophobic.
3:00 Being sooo close to such a massive screen for hours … wouldn’t really be my thing. But I get it, it’s just a concept. And pretty much the opposite of LH First, where the tiny monitor from the late 80s is like 25 meters away.
i mean nothing is stopping you from turning it off and using an ipad or something else instead
I agree, I love the seat design but not the screen
I feel like it’s gonna be for younger generations who are obsessed with screens. Heck even me. 😂
For me the in-built speakers are total nonsense. I will keep my noise-canceling headphones. Can’t stand the aircraft noise and the sound of the film my neighbor is watching for hours on end.
@@akjh6-98h-9nh indeed a weird choice to have speakers on an airplane seat.
Good morning Sam, just want to tell you I love this video. The information and presentation of your videos are always a delight and very knowledgeable. Keep up the good work many thanks.
You're welcome! Good luck with your advocacy efforts. It's important to make travel more accessible for all. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Interesting to see - the distance to Sam during the interviews. The Frenchman was particularly close/sympathetic.❤
I think the title should be future of expensive passenger experience🫠😝
WELCOME to my city Hamburg Sam Chui 😎😎
The coolest thing was the wrap around screen with the headphones hooked into the seat. I also loved the chair that can lower you and raise you just by tilting your weight. I really did not see wider seats until the end of the presentation, but having two people together is a great idea. Hey Sam, great hair cut, too!
Having used Starlink at home, it really does provide fast internet all over the world that is faster than most home internet connections. No flying out of range of a satellite or anything else, this is a game changer for connected flights.
Used Starlink on a Hawaiian Airlines flight and it’s even faster than what I have at home! 4k streaming with no lag and it was on a domestic flight!
Oh, yes, of course, when I, a normal-sized man, am sitting in an economy seat that is designed for like a 165 cm 50 kg dude, I really DO care about the lighting! You know, the unique atmosphere! It really goes best with my one tiny cup of water that is supposed to get me through a 3-4 hour light, while I'm losing feeling in my limbs. Good god, thank the lord it's unique and so atmospheric. I cannot imagine the absolute torture of flying without it. And all that for a measely price of a week's worth of eating out?? Count me in, for the lighting alone!
I think the business class seats that do NOT use electronics(power) to go flat is the coolest thing
2:24 This is definitely the coolest seat I've ever seen in my life, it's just WOW
Thank you for your support! We are committed to enhancing accessibility in aviation with Molon Labe Seating, creating inclusive travel options for wheelchair users. Together, we can make a difference.
The double decker seats was epic
Absolutely incredible designs for PWD.
bader al meer a great and humble guy hope all the best for Qatar airways
This cabin is extremely beautiful 👍🏻👍🏻❤
great idea for wheel chair users
Sam we have Malaysia Airlines A339Neo in Toulouse France!!

👍👍👍👍
That wheelchair thing was cool. disableds will appreciate that
Very cool. Looking forward to anything that makes flying more comfortable. I feel there’s a lot of potential to improve the experience.
Love your videos Sam!! Always something different! I admit I love traveling with you, but you do a good job of giving us a great variety. Very interesting and informative! Great Job by Sam and your entire crew!! Thanks so much!!
That is all very exciting.
Sam. I just love how you present your videos. They're so easy to watch and informative and I love the way you let people who you're interviewing speak without interrupting them. All class mister! This video was amazing! So many new products! Thanks again!
get a room
Thank you for the information! I will definitely look into contacting Alstom and airlines in Europe to learn more about implementing these seats. I appreciate your support!
Wow its so many Aircraft technology here. Ilove starlink .
Thanks for this update. Exciting to see these on board soon. 🤩
You're welcome! I'm glad I could help. Good luck with your research and implementation of the new seats. Feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance.
Wonderful Video, thanks a lot Sam!
Great video capturing new design concepts for passenger experience. Starlink connectivity, lay flat seat recline, and an area to stand and a “perch” are all fantastic for the longer flights. I also enjoy listening to the variety of accents speaking English. Much Respect! Thanks Sam.👏😁
Thank you for your support! We are dedicated to improving accessibility in the aviation industry and are excited about the potential impact of our collaboration with Molon Labe Seating. Together, we can create more inclusive travel options for wheelchair users.
You saved the best till last! Utilising vertical space is innovative and will produce amazing designs. I don't need head room, I need leg room!
Double decker, integrated designs are the future!
If you combined that with the low weight structure company, and the low weight seat company (no wires or motors), surely that's a dream cabin.
I also think the idea of selecting items onscreen, within these pods, will save flight attendant 50% of their leg work. I'd like to see air travel return to a classy, calm, low light experience. Rather than the bright, screaming, bus like services prevalent today.
Idk about you guys. But if airlines offered business class seats without the service part at 50% the price it would be a hit!
Amazing expo, thanks for sharing.
Quite cool futuristic features
Of all the innovations here, the one that struck me as most brilliant is the wheelchair-accessible seat. It's not just a matter of adding luxury - it would actually give people who currently can't fly or who have huge struggles due to accessibility issues the ability to fly in some comfort. (I do wonder if economy passengers would have to pay for two seats, but that's a question for the future.)
aside for it's intended use. I even see other added use. life if you can create a middle row where you can fold up the entire row during a long-haul (when not in use) you also have just extra room (convert a seat area to a corridor and back on the next leg of a flight)
I wonder about getting those wheelchairs down aisles, though.
@@darryljorden9177 - My dad had a small (portable?) wheelchair that looked to be about the size of the one in the demonstration. Wonder if the ones the airports use would work?
The wheelchair one takes up two seats. Not feasible for airlines unless the handicapped one pays for two seats which is unlikely.
I actually think it has been getting better for the economy class over the years- compare to the likes of the Titanic class days and how uncomfortable the economy class was back then.
The 121 double decker business class is a great idea 👏👏👏
Sam made another amazing video like he always does, Great video Sam !
All of them are cool
A lot of exciting things to look forward to on some of my future travel. Thanks Sam for all the terrific content
I was in that flight!
IWasinthatFlight!
Fantastic ! 🌟
this is super amazing....
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your kind words and support. I am confident that with your guidance, I will be able to successfully complete my project and integrate the new seats seamlessly. I will definitely reach out if I have any further questions. Thank you again for your help!
Sam, here Herman from The Netherlands. I must admit that the last feature, the doubledeck in businessclass give me the most reliable feeling for quick introduction. By the way, thanks for your extreme informative overview of this expo on Hamburg. Please continue this way !!
youtube suggesting this to me to hurt my feelings 😂bro I never even gotten near an airport😢
beautiful
25:15 Now thats a goddamn future airplane seat bruhhhhh
Thank you for this great video. Great ideas, wonderful to see what is upcoming. I give Delta 5 stars for thinking of wheelchair accessibility, inclusion and comfort.
Another excellent video !!
There are too many fascinating things and concepts to choose just one in my opinion. ✨🤔
9:43 i'd hate to sit in that window seat 😆
Love the mechanical seats. The electric ones in business class take forever to move.
I'm very hopeful for the mechanical, light-weight business class seats. Hopefully it will enable more no-frills 'business class' similar to ZipAir. I think alot of people want to travel on a budget, but would be willing to pay for a lay flat seat, even without the typical business class amenities.
2:05 that sped up landing footage scared me for a second.
I like the double decker concept. I think playing with space like that for economy would be a good idea so you can have a unique experience and also fit more people in ? Maybe
Great video as always. If I may, for future reference, it’s best to describe an individual as disabled vs handicap since that has a negative connotation. The handicap term was used when individuals could not get jobs and had to beg with their cap in hand. We all know that those with disabilities are very capable and able individuals. ❤
Good afternoon Sam, but it looks like it's a very spectacular event, but I liked everything you showed, a little more about aviation, but above all very good, now between December or January the president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, he wants the motor show to return, but let's wait for that too, but it was great to exhibit in Hamburg, Germany, you traveling with Emirates, which you were leaving from us UAE,which was also tracked by Fligthradar 24.Thank you.
I was very pleased to see your video. An excellant summation of how the airline industry is stepping forward with novel approaches to improve the passenger experience, albeit with limited attention to improving the experience in the economy class cabin. However, on display was SleeperTech’s novel seat enhancing technology, designed to now change that, including a unique fully articulating headrest. This headrest offers a high level of head support and comfort, supporting at the nape of the neck and literally taking the weight off the shoulders, relieving stress and facilitating rest and sleep like no other. It can be readily fitted to new or existing seat platforms, likely to have a significant impact across all classes of seating, including those within the economy class cabin.
Amazing
Amazing Sam, many thanks!
Great to hear! I'm sure Molon Labe Seating will be thrilled to hear from you. I hope this collaboration opens up more accessible travel options for wheelchair users in the aviation industry. Good luck with your efforts!
Fantastic video Sam... Great to see what's new 😊
My my my dearest Sam Chui, here you go again
Awesome ideas
Probably the 29" pitch economy seats that's the most likely to end up in actual aircraft soon enough...
I would like to see more A350 interior.
Im old and not that quick :D looking forward to new F

Interesting video thank you 😁
Meanwhile they will make leg room more smaller for economy seats to make more room for premium class.
Very informative!!! Best video clip ever !!!
Incorporating extensions of the traditional over head Crew Rest Bunk into commercial Bespoke segment is just another idea
Sam love your videos. Your very positive and funny. Keep up the good work.
thanks
Hey Sam awesome video ❤😊
Awesome.
❤ Thank you Sam!
Thank you Sam, awesome video like always.
Súper cool 😎 Sam Chui
👍 nice
Yoo! New video! Thank you!
Yoo!NewVideo!ThankYou!
Sir Sam Chui you deserve all these 3.5m subs. I can’t think of anyone else who loves traveling via air than you. What a lucky life Sir. Cheers to you.
Nice shirt
man I loved this expo video thank you so much for let us travel around the world in the comfort of my home 🤣
It's so cool to see what all the rich people will be using in the coming years
Nice & informative video
Would love to have one of those mockups business class seats at home to space out and clear my mind 😄 Found once some website selling old ones but they were a bit dated and super expensive.
Wow if that's business class, I wonder what FIRST will be like!
@samchui I went to University with the Panasonic dude at 4:04 glad he is doing well
Omg super exciting for what the future will be ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Very nice video. Didn't know an expo existed for aircraft interiors!!!
The concept seat to accommodate wheelchairs was impressive. I'm wondering if the same companies have considered how they would accommodate plus size flyers.
22:20 Brazil mentioned yeeeaaah
Excellent video Sam 👍
Tajikistan Samon Air 🇹🇯
I love seeing handicap acessible seating making the way to the plane and should be standard rates for those in chairs. Great on Delta display. Airbus great seeing the new roomy updates.
Everything was amezing. I wish I can use some of it in the future.
Fascinating video. Thank you.
