Flying 17 hours in a middle seat is a grim prospect.

This could be a game-changer.

You’ll be flying economy, so no personal space or lie-flat bed for you.

Oh, and the flight is 17 hours.

How do you feel?

Not jazzed, I’m guessing.

I know I would.

The bedding will be refreshed for each passenger by the crew during a 30-minute changeover period.

You’ll be able to add a Skynest sleep session to your booking just as you would extra baggage.

It’s on those super-lengthy journeys that an opportunity for a properly restful snooze will likely be most welcome.

Let’s hope it sticks around – and ideally that other airlines catch on.
