A seating arrangement in a vehicle compartment and particularly in an airplane cabin, includes a cabin floor with a carrier structure underneath, with at least two passenger seats, which are separated from each other by a gap. The seats include a table device in front of each seat, including a table top that can be folded down, wherein each seat includes a seat frame, which is connected to the carrier structure beneath the cabin floor of the airplane cabin, a seat cushion that is connected to the seat frame, and a backrest that is connected to the seat frame. In order to allow for a flexible and generous distribution of the seats in the cabin for the travel time and a pleasant ambiance for eating a meal together, the table device includes a table base, which is connected to the carrier structure beneath the cabin floor and is arranged such that it is generally located at the same distance from the seats of a group of seats and the table top of the table device is in front of both seats when folded down.
