12 in-flight innovations that will make your trip better

In-flight innovation these days focuses on digital developments, including Wi-Fi and debate around BYOD (bring-your-own-device), but a lot is happening elsewhere, from interior design, to storage of food to making restrooms more user friendly.

The annual Crystal Cabin Awards recognizes excellence in aviation interior innovation.

For the 2013 awards, it recently released a list of 21 finalists. We’ve culled that list to the 12 that look most intriguing.

You can find the full list of finalists at CCA. Winners will be announced as part of the aircraft cabins trade fair in Hamburg, Germany, April 9-11.
