Abstract
A seating arrangement for a passenger-carrying vehicle, especially aircraft. The arrangement provides a plurality of seating positions (P1, P2, P3), a seating position comprising a seat (20) and a footwell (22). The footwell (22) of a first seating position (P2, P3) is located beside the seat of a second seating position, the second seating position being located generally forward of the first seating position (P2, P3). Each seat is operable into a reclined state in which a leg-supporting component (30) of the seat projects into the associated footwell (22). The first seating position (P2, P3) and the second seating position (P1) overlap in a transverse direction.
