There is disclosed a seating system (100) for use in a means of transportation, allowing passenger seats (116,118,120) to recline without intruding into the seating space of the passengers sitting in the row behind. Each seat (116,118,120) is supported on an elevated base (150) and is movably carried by a support member which is attached to the base (150). Each seat (116,118,120) comprises a seat bottom (134) and a reversibly reclinable seat back (136). The seat back (136) is slidably connected to one or more fixed, rearward-sloped tracks (140,140') which guide the seat back (136) as the support member is operated by an actuator and the seat is moved forward or rearward by the support member. The seat back (136) is disposed frontward and outside of the rear passenger space in any position of the seat back. The elevated base (150) can provide a storage compartment (210,212,214), allowing to eliminate overhead storage bins. A fixed, privacy panel (156) can be arranged behind the seat back (136).
