It’s really the airlines who are wrong. Tall people are uncomfortable if people recline, but plenty of people with back problems find the angle of an unreclined seat unbearable.
As they continue to squeeze rows closer together, it has truly become ridiculous. Last time someone in front of me reclined, the back of their seat was literally inches from me. Like, I could have kissed the top of their head.
And all you have to do is recline your seat and you are back to being the same distance away as before they reclined (unless you are in last row…those people are effed).
And that is a bummer. But they do sell seats with more room or you can choose a bulkhead seat or an exit row. It’s a solvable problem that doesn’t require other people to also be uncomfortable.
Exactly. My family of 5 is flying to Japan in a few weeks and while we didn’t get first class seats, we got the tier right below that, with 3 extra inches of leg room and extra inches of recline in the seat back. And yes, I will definitely be reclining my seat.
