Abstract: A travel suite arrangement for an aircraft cabin, such as a business class cabin, including at least one longitudinal aisle dividing sections, with each section including at least one four-suite unit. Each four-suite unit generally includes an angled first seat positioned directly adjacent the longitudinal aisle forward-facing, a second angled seat positioned directly adjacent the longitudinal aisle rearward-facing, a third angled seat positioned apart from the longitudinal aisle, to one side of the first seat and rearward-facing, and a fourth angled seat positioned apart from the longitudinal aisle, to one side of the second seat and forward-facing. Aisle seats are accessed directly from the aisle while outboard seats share access passageways.

Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, a seating apparatus for positioning at an aisle of an aircraft cabin includes a passenger seat and an armrest assembly mounted adjacent to the passenger seat. The armrest assembly includes a fixed panel adjacent to a seat back that extends along a portion of a seat bottom and a sliding portion that extends from a retracted position where a majority of the sliding panel is parallel to the fixed plane to an extended position where a rear end of the sliding panel is adjacent to a forward end of the fixed panel. A translation assembly slidably connects the sliding panel to the fixed panel to enable the sliding panel to move between the retracted and extended positions. In the extended position, an armrest portion of the fixed panel is flush with an armrest portion of the sliding portion to create an extended panel unit.
