Movable TVs for New Qatar Airways Suites
One of the many little things tourists enjoy when visiting Japan is the rotating seats on the country's bullet trains.
Many people haven't seen them before, so they think it's fun to be able to turn a seat and go from sitting as a pair to sitting as a group of four.
If you'd like a similar experience in the air, Qatar Airways has had "Quad Suites" in business class since 2017, which let people sit in a similar group of four.
Unfortunately, those seats don't turn around — but soon, the TVs will.
Instead of just standing between passengers, passengers will be able to push the TVs flat into the side, so a business group — or a family — will be able to sit around a table and watch movies as a group of four.
Of course, that also means you can pull the 4K screens back into place if you've had enough of seeing your family or business partners!
And improved two-person "Companion Suites" will let pairs of facing passengers move their screens to the side as well.
Qatar Airways says business class passengers will also be getting bigger beds, and there will be handy drawers as well.
However, passengers may have to wait until 2025 to enjoy these new spaces.
But anyone who can afford these suites — or whose companies are happy to pay for them — will also be traveling with the world's first AI cabin crew.
The AI employee is named Sama, and the airline has been showing her off for a number of months already.
