Abstract
The present disclosure provides layouts of columns of lie flat passenger seats for an aircraft cabin. Each column includes a first row, such as a front row, including at least one oblique seat, a second row including at least one forward facing seat, and at least one further row including at least one forward facing seat. None of the seat rows, other than the first rows, include an oblique seat. Each seat is configured to adjust between an upright condition and a lie flat condition, nest with at least one other seat, and utilize a forward footwell formed in a console associated with another seat or a monument. The oblique first row provides a space savings in the cabin layout as compared to conventional layouts wherein all seats are oriented forward facing.
