Mason & Jason

Mason & Jason are a unique pair of inseparable sheep twins who have always found conventional airline seats to be, shall we say, not well suited to their situation. With the introduction of our brand new Skycouch however, they’ve found a spot onboard that’s the perfect fit.

The Skycouch™ is a trio of  Economy Class seats that together create a flexible space for whatever you want it to be - an area to relax and stretch out in, or for the kids to use as a play area. It’s like having your very own couch on the plane.

The seats themselves are our Economy seats with armrests that disappear into the back of the seat. There’s also a trinket tray, a winged headrest and a sleep pillow on every seat.

What makes the Skycouch™ different to other Economy seats is the way the trio of seats transform. With a touch of a button, a footrest will come out from under each of the three seats which you can pull up to create a flat, flexible space for you to use however you like. By booking this three-wide seat space, you really can get the most from your long-haul flying experience.
