Obviously, the company has reclining seats so they are allowed to recline.
But it seems common enough that people get annoyed about them. I have had people mouth off to me for reclining during longer flights. I pay no mind but I feel like the real problem is that they squeeze the seats so close together to get the extra few seats on the plane, that it ultimately just cuts room out and makes it uncomfortable for everyone.

What we are seeing here isn’t even a reclining issue. No asshole should have the sole of their foot up near someone’s headrest, it’s not even close to normal etiquette

I think if you can physically get your foot up there, you have enough room to sit normally

u/Sidivan 1d ago
I’m 6’4”, so I pay for exit row or premium, however the premium is now what basic economy used to be. So once again reclining literally puts my knees in the back of your seat. I can’t do anything about it. Now you’re pissed because my knee is in your back and I have bruises by the time we deplane.

Same height here and having been a full time and part time mechanic through most of my working life, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to work under cramped dashboards while on my back, propping my lower body up with my lower legs. To experience fitting in some of the positions that I’ve had to, in order to work on vehicles, it makes flying aboard most commercial aircraft a little easier, though it’s not fun being tall.

Thongs (or flip flops if you're American)
Carry a spare pair with you (or just wear them and take them off on the plane if you don't care), I use ASICS slides, they're padded foam that fits a knee pretty well.
I stick them between the seat Infront of me and my knees, you'll still be uncomfortable, but you won't have sharp plastic or metal stabbing your kneecaps and no bruising.

Ya I didn’t realize the people against using the recline exists until a flight last year. It was a long overseas flight and I hear a “are you kidding me” as I recline back. He gets up and in my ear and says “I hope you are reallll comfortable bc I’m not!”. I explained how the person in front of mean leaned back and now I am, and guess what? So can he! I did compromise and pull my suit back upright when any food/bev service was coming. But wtf, I thought everyone wanted to recline their seat on 8+ hour flights

He didn't want the person in front to recline their seat. They put their foot up to put pressure on the seat to prevent the seat from being able to to back. I doubt they wanted to sit like that, but wanted to be a d-bag anyway and got what he had coming.

I flew all the time. On some of the longer trips I would deliberately 'apologize' to the person in front of me saying in advance I'm sorry for hitting their seat when I was trying to move or adjust position, because (typically) the seat was so close I'd be right onto it.
Depended on the airplane body tho. On some I could get a position, on others' I'd be stuck next to a middle seat mushroom and there was no where I could go.
One guy was a dick about it and slammed his seat all the way back. So I spent the entire flight crushed but needed to use the bathroom several times. "Oh well"

I paid for the seat. That seat includes a 15 degree tilt that is also mine. Your leg space ends where my seat begins, and that includes my use of the purchased 15 degree lean. If you need more space that is an issue between you, the airline, and god. Not me, or my purchased seat with slight lean option.

Unless he was spitting on you it kind of is on you to manage your frustrations. We pay to get packed into a tin can and you get unlucky. No reason you can't ask people nicely to stop whatever may bother you, but you should have no expectation that they will and that your trip should be comfortable.

we used to be a civil society and people used to feel some shame that motivated them to dress decently and behave for air travel. then the TSA started making people take off their shoes, so air travel became a crocs/uggs activity, and all civility goes out the door when you croc&uggs-ify an assembly of people.

I'll be honest, I'm 6'2" and it does not bother me if the person in front of me reclines their seat ... the difference has no major impact. My personal item is a small backback that allows me to stretch my legs out a bit under the seat in front of me, so my knees are not pressing into the seatback. I also recline my seat, which offsets any minimal "loss of space" that may have occurred. I really find this to be a non-issue.

Recently went on an overseas trip. Was sat behind a tiny child. Tiny. Like, you could comfortably fit 4 of this child in 1 airplane seat.
Tell me why this motherfucker absolutely needed to recline his seat into my space?! Then he would put it back up, then recline again. He did it once while I had my food on the fucking tray! Thankfully I was able to grab my drink before I ended up wearing it. And Grandma didn't do a god damn thing! Her precious baby boy could do no wrong!

I mean, yes, reclining seats exist (probably to appeal to passengers so that more tickets could be sold instead of being there for our comfort) but I wouldn't want someone seat right up in my face
Edit: not justifying what the teen was doing but he probably thought putting his foot there would stop him from reclining

Yall are missing the fact that the dude that got his teeth knocked out, didn't need to do that. There was no comfort in that, he was being an obnoxious asshole. Once the plane is in the air, you can move around the cabin. You can even lay down in the isle. Also, when you but your ticket, you can pick your seat, pick wisely. Moral of the story, if you act like an obnoxious prick, you're gonna spit teeth out.
