Example lie-flat passenger seat configurations for transportation are described. A non-elevated passenger seat includes a seat base and a seatback pivotably connected to the sliding bar. The seat base may be opened upwardly or downwardly. The seatback may be opened sideway such that a space originally used for seat base and seatback is converted to a passage accessible by the passenger. An elevated-height passenger seat also includes a seat base, a seatback pivotably connected to the seat base, and a hinge at an upper portion of the seatback. The elevated-height passenger seat may rotate upwardly around the hinge. When the elevated-height passenger seat rotates upwardly, the elevated-height passenger seat transitions from a seating position to an elevated position with the seat base and the seatback forming a flat bed such that the passenger can lie flat on the flat bed formed by the seat base and the seatback.
