A new design that makes the airplane middle seat much more comfortable has been cleared for takeoff, and could be available to commercial air travelers as early as next April! 

The FAA approved a new airplane seating configuration last month, developed by Molon Labe Seating. Creating a better middle seat experience has been an obsession for the company's CEO, Hank Scott. "We started this company to make flying suck less and to give people more space," Scott told TODAY. The S1 seat design removes some of the major pain points of modern-day flying. The middle seat is slightly lower to the ground, staggered and includes an extra three inches of space, which allows the person sitting in it to use the armrests, without having to fight for space with neighboring passengers. AMEN!!
