Airlines that have Transatlantic and other extended flights often offer their passengers the option of a pod-seat chair accommodation. These seats recline further than the typical airline seats, and in most cases, recline a complete 180 degrees into a flat bed. The pod seats are offered as an option in most first-class and above seating areas.

Mexicana Airlines

Mexicana Airlines Boeing 767s offer 40 mini-pod seats in the MexicanaElite section; these seats recline, but not completely flat. While most pod seats are advertised to recline 180 degrees into a flat bed, these seats recline 175 degrees. Passengers can still kick back as if in a reclining chair, but they will not be laying flat as if in bed.
