Why bother reclining your seat in coach?

Sorry for the bad grammar…I was preoccupied by my numb legs.

Nevermind. Fixed.

It helps a little but basically, yes coach sucks!!

I feel your pain. I was on a plane for 10 1/2 hours yesterday. The guy in front of me was in full recline for 9 of those hours. I’m sure there are still little craters in the back of that seat where my knees used to be embedded.

I don’t blame him, really. He was a very heavy guy, and must have been far more miserable than I was. The recline probably bought him some extra comfort at his midsection.

I do try to keep my own recline to a minimum.

If someone in front of me reclines, I’ve found I can usually just push it back up or if that doen’t work, I aim my air nozzle on full at their head.

ask for a bulkhead seat next time :)

Change your mindset and plan on renaming it “Steerage”. Having long legs, I found that my knees were sticking into my throat and loosening my teeth. No more air travel for me unless absolutely essential.

I always try to sit in the Emergency Exit row, because of the extra legroom there.

Try seatguru.com when requesting seat assignments. I love how detailed the descriptions are for each seat on commercial flights :)

Thanks for the link! Appreciated!
