Other Improvements
Overhead Lighting: New lights and light valances located along the ceiling above the stow bins run the full length of the passenger seating area. They provide soft indirect lighting that contributes to passenger cabin ambiance.
Video System: Airlines have the option to equip their airplanes with modern flat-panel video displays as part of the passenger entertainment system. The retractable liquid-crystal displays are mounted in the passenger service unit above the seats. A video monitor is positioned every two to three seat rows.
Vacuum Lavatories: The airplanes are equipped with vacuum lavatories. For passengers, that means less odor in the lavatories. For airlines, it means reduced service time and a reduced incidence of corrosion on the airplane.
Convertible Seats: Airlines choosing optional, convertible seating can accommodate actual, not average, business-class demand on a flight by flight basis. Seats can be rapidly converted to a five-abreast business-class seat configuration. The seat pitch also is easily changed and the seat rows added or removed as needed.
Class Divider: An optional, moveable class divider can be repositioned quickly and easily by one person. The divider allows unobstructed access to overhead stow bins.
