Why not just anaesthetise passengers for the entire flight? They'll take up less space lying down, you don't need to provide a meal or inflight movie, and there's no way that they're going to get bored when they're asleep.


I have always thought that was a good idea, if it could be done safely. Everyone could be laid in their own separate escape capsule. If the plane got into trouble each capsule would eject in turn from the plane and parachute to the ground safely. The capsules would have builtin emergency beacons and inflatable skirts to make them float.
