Oh come on, they aren't all like that.
This one is great for those who want to smell farts blasted right into their faces.
That feels so claustrophobic for the poor belowdecks person. You think they do seating based on phobia for this shit? You know, make the experience of flying just a tiny bit more miserable with bodily dread and stuff?
Mmm directly at fart level
Accessibility also loves it!
at this point, why not just have sliding racks of jump seats
Have you tried not being so tall? /s
Not just airlines (or rather plane manufacturers) but bus and train manufacturers, too. And car makers when it comes to the back seats. Basically any company producing means of multi-person transportation.
Not just airlines (or rather plane manufacturers)
Distance between seats is determined by the airline, not the plane manufacturers. The seats mount on rails and are easily moved around by the airlines to optimize amount of possible seats.
Which is also why the windows never fucking line up.
I have a Mustang, it’s a convertible. I’d honestly rather NOT have the back seats. They are useless anyway, I’d rather just have a 2 seater sports car.
Tojo took m’leg room!
Is that a couple of floating scrotums?
If only there was someone who could trace those dicks
If it was really down to airlines they'd design airplanes for sardines...
They would make us stand up, that would allow them to fit so many more people.
(From my driving school textbook)
This is not even a joke for WestJet.
WestJet says feedback and operational data about the scaled-back 28-inch seat pitch, which reduced legroom, prompted the airline to change its “cabin-configuration approach” on aircraft where seating had been “densified.”
Aahhh, who doesn't love some corpo speak
I physically don't fit in a 30" seat pitch, that sounds like hell
You have to be this small to ride this plane
I'm 5ft 2 and I feel like I barely fit in an airplane seat. And God forbid I have to use the restroom during the flight.
Restrooms smaller than portable Scotty potties.
I'm not someone who has claustrophobia but I'll be real. Those restrooms feel like a coffin. And being on a flight longer 2 hours is a test of my mental fortitude.
I've been on an airplane a few times for about 9 hours and I honestly felt slightly traumatized by the experience.
Id love to travel to farther places but I don't think I can handle those 13 hr flights.
All so rich people can rent entire apartments in the sky. Their seats get bigger while ours get smaller, doubly so for bathrooms.
The front view needs to be 1 plastic school ruler wide with no curves. And no arms.
I rode fiddy planes
“You’re not mah daddy, a’hm your daddy!”
two hour flight to London with RyanAir was an absolute nightmare for me, and i'm ~196 cm which isn't even that tall.
it really sucks that my options are either to suffer or to pay more.
Where the hell are you from where 196 cm isn't tall? We're the same height and I loom over nearly everyone I meet like a fucking giant.
Netherlands probably. 180 cm is the average for a man there.
16 cm is a pretty big difference. Thats almost 10% and surely more than a standard deviation above.
That's being bigger, not looming over everyone. Find yourself in a group of Asian tourists who are often not even chest height for some good looming.
Northern Germany, Netherlands, Denmark. I felt I was tall before moving to the area. Now I feel just below average.

From the Czech Republic. I mean, I am tall, but I still know like three people taller than me.
195cm is definitely tall! At 200cm, I can literally no longer fly unless I save up for business class. My legs simply do not fit into a coach seat. Coach hurts. I would have to be a contortionist to attempt coach.
I think the worldwide average for men is something like 172-175cm so you are definitely tall. That said, it's still abhorrent that some people are not allowed to fly remotely comfortably because of a handful of their genes.
Easily fixed by not using those scummy twats Ryanair...
Well, money..
Having no moral WRT your travel choice can hurt, I don't feel sorry for you.
fair, but it was never my choice, i'm a student and the only times i traveled by plane were with someone who paid for me and decided what to use.
Once upon a time, KLM was fined for providing too little legroom. Good times...
I am not that tall, but tall enough that my knee hits the plastic protection piece on the front seat, it is not fun.
Replace the guy with just moneybags on their way to get emptied.
I killed fiddy men!
Last time I flew on a plane the armrest from the seat in front of me actually cut my knee there was so little room. My only other option was to get my leg run over by the drink cart.
It's actually 🐄
