The commenter above could have been saying the seats cost the same as Lamborghini seats, which is plausible, or that it costs the same to print a picture of a Lamborghini onto the packaging as it does to print a picture of an airplane seat, which is true. There are many plausible ways to interpret their statement as being correct, but I don't think they're saying any airline seats cost $200k.

No, the first class airplane seats costs $250k each.

Also it looks like a row of non-first class seats can also cost about the same: https://www.mirror.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/inside-the-dreamli...

ok, that's pretty intense.
Thompson Aerospace in NI make front-of-cabin seats and they charter freighter aircraft to deliver them rather than relying on shipping companies
