Abstract
The invention provides an aircraft passenger accommodation unit comprising a seat, a shell defining an opening, and a door. The door is translatable along a first path across the opening between a closed position in which passenger egress through the opening is at least partially blocked, and an open position which allows passenger access between a seat and an aisle. The door is translatable in a second direction that is transverse to the first direction, between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the door is translatable across the opening along the first path, and when the door is in the second configuration, the door is translatable across the opening along a second path. The invention also provides a door arrangement and a method of using a door.
