That's why you check in early and get an exit row.

That happened to me recently. I didn't mind that she reclined all the way, but it was impossible to not bump her seat through the flight. I have 2 kids, they drop shite, and it was a 9 hour flight.

She kept turning her head, and sighing loudly. So, I just told her that's what happens when you recline. Her right to recline, but our row was going to be bumping into her a lot more than if she had not.

Dudet hat sucks. I'm only 5'9. If I could pass all the extra room I get in first class to you I would.

how about you grow a set of balls and ask her to either put her seat back up or switch with you instead of acting like a passive aggressive child?

you did nothing but make the situation worse and didn't act any better than the fat lady.

Eh. I'm not much shorter than you. I just accept that flying fricking sucks and my knees will be bruised. I take Xanax to make it more bearable.

Years ago I was in a short flight from Houston to New Orleans and this arse hat behind me pushed my seat when I reclined claiming that he was over 6'5" and this was hurting him - I reclined about half way and he still bitched about his lack of leg room.

Why didn't you address the situation with the lady like a normal person?


This. Why would a man who claims to be 6'4" be scared to tell a short fat redneck female to buck the fricking seat up? Wth is the world coming to

If you pay for your ticket, you have the right to lean your seat back, but I choose not to do that because I know it leaves me such little room when people do it to me.

I don't even think that leaning the chair back does much anyway, you get like 3 inches of recline.

I'm always surprised that this universal tenet of intelligent people (not reclining in coach on domestic flights) is met with such controversy here.

Let's be frank, if you do that, you're pure filth. No sensible person does this. The primary justification is "I BOUGH MY TICKT JUST LIKE YOU" which is the refrain of trashy people.

I only lean mine back when the person in front of me leans theirs back. I hate to do it but I'm not going to spend four hours smelling some old lady's scalp (which is how I feel when the seat leans back in front of me).

Didn't know a 3 hour flight from Minneapolis to Spokane qualifies as a cross country flight.

Take it up with the airline for giving the ability to recline or upgrade your ticket. I have enough shite to worry about without worrying if the person behind me has leg room.

I'm a bit confused as to how you read my post as a complaint, much less one I would feel the need to file a complaint for.
