Please be seated.

Have you ever wondered WHY airline seats are so uncomfortable, so stressful, so poorly designed? We certainly have. Our bodies have on occasion felt they were going into a lower body, arterial thrombosis after 5+ hours in the friggin' seats.

Well cash-strapped Delta Airlines has come to the rescue. By 2010 every Delta international, economy class section will be outfitted with newly designed seats. Could domestic flights be far behind? Here's some interesting facts about the research that went into the design improvements. Yes, research!

Because international travel is so fiercely competitive, other airlines will be forced to meet the challenge. Help is on the way! Say hello to your lower body, your shoulders, your neck. Say, "Bonjour Paris!"
