A swinging seatpan assembly for a passenger seat includes a fixed seatpan frame (304) attached to the seat structure and a mobile seatpan frame (306) pivotably attached to the fixed seatpan frame by rollers configured for translation through slots in the fixed seatpan frame. Passengers occupying middle and aisle seats of a multiple-seat block or assembly may engage their respective swinging seatpan assemblies to allow an occupant of a window seat to enter/egress their seat without the middle-seat and aisle-seat passengers leaving their seats for the aisle. For example, the passenger may engage a release to unlock and push the mobile seatpan frame (306) so that the mobile seatpan frame pivots rearward/downward, temporarily increasing the seat pitch distance and allowing the window-seat passenger increased egress space.
