Looking Aft First Class N15017 February 1994

This was a comfortable way to do a transcon in the 80s and 90s. Although not billed as sleeper seats, they did feature somewhat expanded legroom, and manual footrests, one of which can be seen (in the stowed position) here.

 

The red and blue cabin colors served TWA from 1978 to well into the 90s. When originally introduced, First Class seats were covered in a grey velvety geometric pattern. Arguably more elegant, but more costly, it was replaced in 1982 by the more economical vertical stripe seat cover shown here. At the same time, the Ambassador section was introduced immediately behind First, replacing 2-5-2 economy in that section.
