The Premium section at the front of these planes will have "ergonomically contoured seat cushions, reclining seat backs and a large headrest with four-way adjustment capability."

The 36 seats between the premium section and the rest of the cabin will, in turn, also have reclining ability, alongside extra legroom and slightly more space than the higher fare class.

There will be first class with all the bells and whistles, then a section for people who want to pay more to have a reclining seat and (allegedly) more leg room.

That will leave me with a regular seat to sit in, without an upcharge, and the asshole in front of me will not be able to recline. I'm good with this.
