Abstract

In a passenger seating arrangement in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement has exactly two rows of seat units and exactly one aisle. A first row of seat units and a second row of seat units are separated by the aisle. The rows of seat units and the aisle all extend in a longitudinal direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin. Each seat unit includes a seat, an upper shell and a lower shell, the lower shell forming a footwell. The seats are arranged in parallel to each other in a seating direction. An upper shell of a first seat unit and a lower shell of a second seat unit, which, viewed in the longitudinal direction, is arranged behind the first seat unit, partially overlap in a vertical direction.
