Asking because I’m a disabled person with severe POTS and my heart has been recorded stopping after 35 minutes of being forced to stand up, so I absolutely couldn’t do a more than 30 minute flight if this is going to be the case (I’d also imagine a woman’s heart stopping shortly after takeoff and having to lie down in the aisle to stay conscious/recover would call for a return to the airport).

I’ve heard some airlines are considering standing only seats and will roll them out in 2028 because it allows passengers to be packed more tightly and it’ll make more money. The articles don’t seem to say which airlines are considering this though, so I’m wondering if it’s going to be a thing.
