Damien Caissie is a writer based in Montreal. He thinks a nap zone on transatlantic flights is a fantastic idea: “Having a section that keeps both light and noise at a minimum would be an incredible gift and could perhaps mitigate the effects of jet lag.” If he could choose his next seatmate, it’d be Ice-T.
Ashle Imbriale is a designer and illustrator based in Los Angeles. She thinks it would be rad if passengers could climate control their seats, and a concierge class – that could help with local recommendations – would take things to the next level. The last movie that made her cry in flight? The Lego Movie.
Wolfram Scheible has worked as a freelance photographer for 30 years, specializing in portraiture, business and science photography. The film Hachi: A Dog’s Tale brought him to tears in flight, which may be why he thinks a “Do Not Disturb” sign and a “Ready for Conversation” sign might be useful.
Taylor Tippett is a Chicago-based flight attendant and adventurer. If she could sit beside anyone on her next flight, it’d be Ellen DeGeneres: “I want to meet her so badly and talk about how kindness matters.” Her pro tip: Always travel with an in-flight playlist. Find her on Instagram @taylortippett.
