Without going any further, the planes of today they are safer than those of yesteryear due to the technological advances that have been carried out, although it is true that there are critical voices in this regard, since with so much automation pilots stop learning manual techniques that can be vital importance when electronic failures occur.

Leaving that aspect aside, which gives more than one article, it should be noted that aircraft will continue to improve in other facets such as comfort. I can assure you after seeing the Move seats, which are fully customizable thanks to their smart textiles.

The revolution will not reach all companies, or at least it will not do so in the short or medium term. I say this more than anything because it seems unlikely that we will see Move seats on planes like Ryanair's, where it is difficult to say that you travel comfortably.
