Recreate the fun and joy of flying at home with your own aircraft seats

It's been a long time since flying was anything but a chore, but now you can recreate at least part of the experience at home anytime you want. The First Class seats from MotoArt, are genuine aircraft seats pulled from an airliner under renovation, so there's no telling who's tush has been planted in them before. These would actually make pretty nifty home theater seats, with a fully reclining mechanism including a pop-out foot rest, and originally designed to be cushy enough for the nonstop from San Francisco to Sydney. While the built in entertainment system no longer works, that's no problem if you're planted in front of your own home theater rig. And think, no crying babies! Now, if only a flight attendant would appear when you pushed the call button...

MotoArt builds different versions of these seats depending on what's available at the plane dismantlers, and pricing tends to vary. This set is $2800, and while that's not exactly cheap, it's a whole lot less than just renting them for 15 hours on that SFO-SYD flight.
