The BL3710 seat comes equipped with several comfort amenities, such as individual USB power, an enhanced ergonomic seat bottom, an adaptable tray table, elongated armrests, and a bring-your-own-device holder to tailor the entertainment experience in the cabin. The lightweight SL3710 model offers advanced ergonomics suitable for all body types, along with the convenience of USB power access at each seat, an integrated cup holder, all fitted on an eight-kilogram frame.
