| Flying is much cheaper today. People want low prices over more comfort. They vote with their wallets. |

| I don't know, having more color doesn't seem that much more expensive? I guess the fabrics are expensive and stain relatively easily, but if public transport can keep them clean so can airlines IMO. Some fabric seats are over 3 decades old and they're still in a really good shape. |

| ▲ | himata4113 a few seconds ago | parent [-] | | 10?! That's news to me. I had to fly american airlines and there was still 9.. oh it has been half a decade. |
