A passenger seating arrangement in an aircraft cabin, the passenger seating arrangement comprising a column of seat units located adjacent an aisle, the column of seat units and the aisle both extending in a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft cabin, and wherein

• the column comprises a multiplicity of seat units, arranged consecutively along the longitudinal direction, and the pitch between consecutive seat units in the column being between 24 and 33 inches,
• wherein the seat units are substantially identical,
• and wherein each seat unit comprises a plurality of moveable seating elements such that the seat unit is configurable between a seating configuration in which the seating elements are arranged to form a seat having a seat pan and seat back, and a flat-bed configuration in which the seating elements are arranged to form a surface for a flat-bed having a bed length of at least 75 inches,
• and wherein in each seat unit, the seating elements are orientated at an acute angle, of between 47 and 51 degrees, to the longitudinal direction and face inwardly towards the aisle,
• and wherein the arrangement comprises a multiplicity of screens, each screen being substantially identical and each screen being arranged to respectively separate a passenger in an aft seat unit in the column from a passenger in a fore seat unit in front of it in the column,
• and wherein a lateral direction extends perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and wherein when the seat units are in the seating configuration, the seating elements of each seat unit are all at the same lateral position in the cabin and the seat back of each fore seat unit is adjacent to the seat pan of the corresponding aft seat unit,
• and wherein each screen comprises a space-sharing region having an upper part and a lower part below the upper part, in which:
• the upper and lower parts of the screen are offset relative to each other towards the aft and fore seat units respectively, such that the upper part provides shoulder space for the passenger in the fore seat unit when the seat units are in the seating configuration, and the lower part provides arm space for the passenger in the aft seat unit when the seat units are in the seating configuration, the aft seat unit comprising an armrest located within the arm space.
