| | The back of the plane is changing | | by Sean Cudahy, Senior Aviation Reporter | |  | Over the last couple of years, we’ve spent lots of time talking about the fancy seats at the front of the plane (e.g., this Delta Air Lines jet that has an unbelievably large first-class cabin).

Usually, most of us are flying economy. And while they’re not the caviar and bubbles you’ll find in that posh suite, there are actually some pretty cool things happening at the back of the plane.
