Abstract

A passenger cabin of an aircraft includes a seat arrangement that includes a number of seat assemblies. The seat assemblies include a seat structure having a seat backrest forming a backrest surface the and a seat cushion element forming a seat surface, and a passenger space partition, which spatially partitions a passenger space of the seat and which at least partially surrounds the seat structure and leaves open an access to the seat structure. The seat cushion element is moveable between a comfort position, in which the seat cushion element projects further into the access in order to provide a larger seat surface, and an access position in which the seat cushion element does not project as far or does not project at all into the access in order to make possible a wider access.
