A seating configuration for an aircraft cabin has an aisle (fig.1,104) extending parallel to a longitudinal axis (fig.1,X) of the aircraft cabin, a number of seats arranged in one or more rows R1’, each row containing, on the same side of the aisle, at least one aisle seat 108-1 and at least one non-aisle seat 110-1 spaced apart to define a passenger access passageway 116-1 between them, which forms at least part of an access pathway E1B extending from the non-aisle seat to the aisle to the rear of the aisle seat. Preferably, aisle seats face outwardly from the aisle at an angle between 35-45°, and non-aisle seats at 0-15°. A console (fig.8,120) may infill the passageway if the pathway is not required. Also claimed is a seating configuration for an aircraft cabin with an aisle extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cabin having at least one row containing an aisle seat and a non-aisle seat arranged such that the non-aisle seat has two distinct access pathways E1A,E1B extending from the non-aisle seat to the aisle. One pathway E1A may pass through forward of the aisle seat, through the passenger living space.
