Lie-flat seat

How it is used

Example sentences

1. The lie-flat seat let me stretch out during the overnight flight.

   The seat changes into a sleeping surface rather than merely leaning back.

2. Our connecting flight had business class but no lie-flat seats.

   A cabin label does not guarantee a particular seat mechanism.
