I’ll gladly take the extra legroom seats!

Karyoplasma ,

I know that feel. I’m 1,93m (that’s 6’4’’ in America) and I feel DVT crawling up to me every time I sit in an airplane seat.

I had to travel on a very short notice 2 weeks ago. Chose the cheapest flight I could find - Spirit.

They have the option to bid for exit row seats and the large front seats. I bid $3 for the exit row seats and … won! Spread my legs out gloriously throughout the entire flight.

Everyone’s going for the gunner seats… An I the only one whose restless legs are excited to have the opportunity to pedal?

If you pause we die

Fully honest audit of my cycling abilities: we never left the ground in the first place

RGB3x3 ,

I’d rather the mega-fun bumper car seats

fireweed ,

Imagine a coast-to-coast red eye in the bumper car seats. Or a transatlantic flight. RIP anyone on a non-stop from Singapore to NYC. And that’s assuming there’s no turbulence…

ouRKaoS ,

After about an hour, someone would figure out how to get the bumper cars out of the arena and there’d be a death match by the trash hole.

I’d just yell “Last one out is the rotten egg!” and then enjoy my empty plane in peace.

Yes, but allow me to present this compelling counter proposal:

Lots of wasted space on the tail. Could've fit a ball pit or two back there.

OR3X ,

I would pick tail gunner every time.

HobbitFoot ,

Yeah. I need the miles.

bingbong ,

I need the glory

OR3X ,

They better give us comms.

Don’t get cocky kid!

I love diving in aviation fuel. The fuel tank seats are genuimely the most relaxing. Like an isolation tank, except you get to slosh up against the other passergers every time the aircraft makes a maneuver. nice, cozy, intimate, communal and lubey experience.

…That may just be the benzene.

Am I retarded? I don’t get the relevance of this comment, is it just totally random?

it’s a comic about unconventional airline seating

marcos ,

The comic filled the fuel tanks with seats.

PsychedSy ,

Wings are full of fuel, so wing seats will be a bit…damp.

@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

You see the seats in the wings, right? The joke is that they’re inside the wing tanks where the fuel is stored.

The cow catcher is obviously to catch mutant camels.

bartvbl ,

I believe it is also meant to catch agrathean sperm whales and bowls of petunias.

KepBen ,

Really though you never know what you’ll encounter six miles up, but you can be prepared to catch it

stringere ,

Oh no, not again.

TheRealLinga ,

I wish there were really bumper cars on planes… that would be crazy fun

If you like to fly alone and have best view, the best seat is the “lookout”. It’s also cozy and quiet.

DNOS ,

Yeah it may sound like it but nobody tells the truth about them … If u sit there u must blink They let u chose the colour red on one side and green on the other …

Ediacarium ,

Why does the fighter escort waste the space on its wings?

stevestevesteve ,

They’re weight-limited rather than space-limited

Ediacarium ,

So they’re carry-on only seats with no extra baggage?

anton ,

Putting your luggage on the main plain incentivises you to protect it.

HonoraryMancunian ,

They’re operated by Ryanair

jaybone ,

And who is pedaling?

Karyoplasma ,

Jets are powered by hamsters in wheels. That’s why they don’t need pedals.

Wow, has it been that long since I last flew? We didn’t even have the hole, let alone the tail gunners. Once we’d hit an aircow or two we’d have swarms of them coming at us constantly, biting at the tail of the plane. Meanwhile the first set of pilots are being replaced because the lack of cow catcher just let them right in through the front windshield. Truly a terrible experience, 7/10 would fly again but only on sale.

awnery ,

don’t be ridiculous… wait what? pilots are being replaced! with caught cows! why argue!

jaybone ,

Cows are the new AI. They will take all of our jobs.

Take your angry upvote and go make cheeseburgers :|

Though that does make one wonder… Cows with guns versus SkyNet?

kerrypacker ,

And you can’t even smoke any more.

ladicius ,

You still can smoke on planes. It just got much more expensive.

Daft_ish ,

Not if you only smoke cock.

bingbong ,

Not if the lookouts catch you

Daft_ish ,

Not if the lookouts smoke cock

jaybone ,

And then you can’t get on a plane anymore afterwards.

I still don’t get it

WhiteWolfLT ,

Basically a joke on how planes could have more seats.

The main part of the plane is mostly the same. Front for first-class. Middle for economy. I’m assuming the bumper seats are more expensive cause they should be more fun. The penthouse is just the premium first class, assuming that they get they’re own room. The tail gunners might be the best seats cause you don’t have to do anything and get to earn extra miles. People in front of the back wing seem to be on death row.

Wing seats don’t make sense cause wings are thin and you would be sitting on top of them but then you just die. Wings thick enough for people to sit at aren’t possible (I think) or they could just where you lie down, which would be preferable to sitting down. Peddling seats could be free but require a lot of leg work, not sure if they’re expected to peddle always or just in an emergency. Look out seems rather pointless, radar would be more reliable.

The side car just seems dumb, likely to get torn off due to wind resistance.

The cow cather is to catch cows, as the name implies.

The hole for trash seem to be a bit unethical, littering and all that.

Fighter escort seems pointless, planes rarely get shot down. Unless you’re flying over interesting countries.

PopShark ,

Wings are also where the majority of fuel is stored in commercial aircraft so any passengers inside them might drown

the fighter escort is to fight off the cows
