Have you ever wondered where the missing rows on a plane have gone—and why? When boarding a flight, you may have noticed that certain row numbers are skipped entirely. It’s not a mistake; it’s intentional and influenced by a mix of practicality, culture, and customer experience. Here’s what’s behind the missing rows: 1. Superstition: In many cultures, certain numbers are considered unlucky. For instance, the number 13 is often skipped due to Western superstitions, while some Asian airlines avoid the number 4 because it sounds similar to the word “death” in Mandarin and other languages. 2. Configuration Variations: Airlines use different seating layouts across various aircraft models. Rows might be skipped to maintain consistency in numbering between planes with different configurations. This makes it easier for frequent flyers to choose their favorite seat, no matter the aircraft type. 3. Marketing Strategy: In some cases, row numbers are adjusted to align with premium services. For example, skipping rows can create the perception of more exclusivity in business or premium economy cabins. 4. Technical Reasons: The layout and numbering often depend on the placement of exits, lavatories, and galleys, which can interrupt the numerical sequence. So next time you board a plane, take a closer look at the row numbers—it’s not just a coincidence. Airlines carefully design these details to meet operational, cultural, and passenger expectations. What’s your take? Have you ever noticed the skipped rows? Would love to hear your thoughts below! #moyagroup #DeliveringTravel #Aviation #TravelExperience #Airlines #DesignMatters #PassengerInsights

United Airlines is taking a major leap forward in modernizing its passenger experience! The airline has surpassed a significant milestone by retrofitting over 80 of their narrowbody aircraft with the new "NEXT" interior design. This upgraded cabin promises a more comfortable and convenient journey for flyers. The "NEXT" interior boasts a range of improvements designed to enhance the travel experience. Every seat will now be equipped with a seatback entertainment system, providing access to a variety of in-flight entertainment options. Passengers can also enjoy seamless pairing of their wireless headphones with the system for a more personalized experience. Additionally, USB and electrical charging ports at every seat ensure you stay connected and powered up throughout your trip. Larger overhead bins are another welcome change, potentially reducing the need for gate-checked baggage and allowing for easier stowage of carry-on luggage. By retrofitting its fleet with the "NEXT" interior, United Airlines demonstrates a strong commitment to passenger experience. This initiative positions them well in the competitive aviation industry where passenger comfort and amenities are increasingly important. United Airlines aims to complete the retrofitting of their entire narrowbody fleet by 2026. This ongoing project signifies a continued investment in their passengers and a focus on staying ahead of the curve in terms of in-flight comfort and entertainment options. #UnitedAirlines #AirlineNews #AviationNews

✈️CAN WE REALLY STOP BAD AIR FROM TURNING THE PLANE INTO A FLYING PETRI DISH OF GERMS?? 🔴LET’S TACKLE THE GERM QUESTION WITH A STORY Passengers boarded the plane, and they noticed the fresh, clean air circulating through the cabin. A traveler, a scientist, asked the flight attendant. "Can we have clean air in our airplanes?" She said "Yes, it's called air displacement ventilation that makes it possible. It's a new design" He asked for more details. "Air displacement brings 100% fresh air in slowly, without disturbing cabin air. It creates a puddle of fresh air that rises upward, lifting a layer of dirty air and gases with it. As you exhale, the dirty air and gases are captured and vented out of the plane." He asked, "But what about spreading germs?" "That's where the personalized air displacement system works," the attendant said. "It brings in 100% fresh air at each chair and moves dirty air above each passenger's head through the vent to the outside. Greater comfort and cleaner cabin air". The passengers noticed a difference. "What about other areas?" the scientist asked. "It is a different design for that," the attendant said. "Conventional air displacement brings 100% fresh air into a few vents placed low in the crew areas. The dirty air leaves from ceiling vents and it is vented from the plane. It provides better comfort for the aircrew." “With the new design, it saves fuel and is ECO friendly”.✈️✈️ The flight was a game-changer for air travel, making it a more comfortable and healthier experience for all. Although this is a fictional story today, someday we may hear a flight attendant using phrases like this. 💡✈️ Dive into our latest post for more details on this new design! Airline manufacturers won't make changes without your demand. Airline manufacturers need to hear from you, so spread the word! Stay informed, stay healthy, and travel smart! 🌍✈️ #Airflow #AirQuality #Clean Cabin Air #HealthyTravel #Innovation #Air Displacement #Fresh Air in Airplanes 💡✈️

The days of a one-size-fits-all approach to passenger experience have long gone. Research from Engine Service Design shows that today's passengers come in several distinct traveller profiles, each with their own different requirements. Some travellers prioritise speed and efficiency, whilst others may be looking for a cultural experience as they make their way through the terminal. I've reimagined the passenger experience based on the needs and expectations of passengers - you can have a read via the link below. https://hubs.la/Q02DxxMM0 #PassengerExperience #CustomerJourneys #AviationIndustry #Airport

Why Are First Class Passengers Boarded First? If you think first-class passengers are boarded first just because they are “priority passengers,” think again. Have you noticed how budget airlines, which don’t even have first-class seats, still board the front rows first and then move to the back? There’s a very practical reason behind this. Ever seen a donkey cart tip over because it was overloaded? Believe it or not, something similar can happen to an airplane. An airliner parked on the tarmac works like a giant see-saw. Its center of gravity, when empty, is just slightly in front of the main landing gear. If the back of the plane is loaded first—whether with passengers or luggage—while the front remains empty, the center of gravity could shift enough to tip the plane backward onto its tail. Boarding the front seats first helps keep the aircraft stable during the boarding process.
