Abstract
A seating module for aircraft passengers including an individual seat which has a seat cushion, a seat back and arm rests and is adapted to be oriented in a longitudinal direction of the aircraft. The seating module further includes an upright vertical wall structure having a fitting or compartment facing and spaced a distance from the individual seat which is narrower than the width of the individual seat. The seating module has a straight lateral wall extending between one side of the individual seat and one side of the fitting, which has a height at least at the level of the seat cushion. The straight lateral wall, the individual seat and the fitting define an elongate space having a wider end occupied by the individual seat and a narrower end occupied by the fitting. An access opening is disposed between the ends and opposite the straight lateral wall.
