    Abstract: A passenger seating arrangement in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement including a column of seat units (C1) adjacent an aisle. The column (C1) includes a multiplicity of seat units, each consecutive seat unit alternates between: an inwardly-facing seat unit angled at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin; an outwardly-facing seat unit angled at the same acute angle to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin but facing outwardly away from the aisle. Each seat unit comprises a foot-receiving end. The foot-receiving end of each inwardly-facing seat unit houses a retractable armrest which is configurable between a stowed position, and a deployed position in which the armrest extends to one side away from the foot-receiving end, such that the armrest provides an armrest surface for use by a passenger in the adjacent outwardly-facing seat unit.
