Aircraft cabin 103 passenger seating arrangement 101 comprising a column 107 of seat units 109 arranged in an inwardly facing herringbone (see figure 1e). Each seat unit 109 is configurable between a seating configuration and a flat­bed configuration. Each seat unit has an access opening 133 for accessing the respective seat unit 109. At least one of the seat units is configurable into a disabled-access configuration in which an access opening is temporarily widened by moving part of a foot-receiving structure 123, for enabling a disabled passenger to access the seat unit 109. The method of providing access for disabled passengers to the seat unit 109 comprises temporarily configuring a seat unit into a disabled-access configuration wherein the access opening 133 is widened from a first width to a second width that is greater than the first width. To aid with widening the access opening, at least part of an end wall 125 associated with foot receiving structure 123 is movable and detachable. The foot receiving structure 123 may also comprise an ottoman 126.
