For those of us who can't afford to fly Business Class, design studio JPA has designed a better Premium Economy seat.

The new design takes cues from a wingback chair, providing greater privacy on either side of your head.

A nice, unexpectedly elegant design touch is this reading light integrated into the headrest.

Thigh support is offered when the seats recline.

There's also a footrest you can fold down.

The seatback monitors are gigantic, and the seatback tray has been replaced with a phone/tablet tray, in case you want to supplant the onboard programming with your own.

The trays are now located in the armrests.

The non-tray armrests of each seat feature a storage compartment with a light and a USB-C port.

Between the seats, on the center console are conventional power outlets.

The new seat designs are slated for Cathay-Pacific's 777-300ER wide-body planes.
