Flight planning

I had a dream many years ago. Yes, a real dream, not a metaphorical one.
I dreamed that we were getting ready to board a flight. Instead of cramming past eachother and trying to stuff lugguage overhead while loading hundreds of human cargo and handbagage, it was all done in an open space.
What I mean is, the seats and luggage were all in open frame on open carpet and can be accessed from all sides.

When everyone was loaded, the frame with chairs was slotted through a door into the plane. So the plane (engines and wings) do not have to be with the passenger capsule. So the number of planes and passenger capsules does not have to be equal, and passengers can be loaded before the plane arrives - and loaded all in one go.

Just a thought
