Airline travel "seats" replaced with standing strap standing spaces!

Lean in … Traveling by plane already feels like a carnival ride, and it’s about to get even more so. Some low-cost carriers plan to roll out the Skyrider 2.0 in 2026, a vertical seating concept that has just passed safety regulations for short flights. You’re not sitting and you’re not standing – you’re strapped in and leaning slightly forward, like on some amusement park rides. In fact, a commenter on social media compared it to the Batman ride at Six Flags. Naturally, vertical seating means planes can pack in more seats. Great for the airlines. For passengers? Get ready for a wild ride.
