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.

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.

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

bullshite. I just flew on the longest flight currently available Dallas to Sydney. There is no way in hell I'm not reclining my seat. I was in Premium Economy so I had a much bigger and wider seat that reclined farther and had a foot rest.

If I was in the poor section I would've died

You being tall should always try to buy the emergency exit row. You have more leg room and the people in front of you aren't able to recline their chairs

I'm not reading all that. But I can definitely tell you are self-absorbed a-hole. Enjoy yourself.

Damn cuz you man huh? First pick your airline with care. Is being miserable worth saving the $7 in fare? Next don't be afraid to purchase a nicer seat. I am 6'1 and love Delta economy comfort+ when I don't get upgraded. You see I fly 175 flights a year so I know how this shite goes. Now if I do a same day standby and get screwed on seats (back middle) I knew that risk going in.

Airfare is a commodity. If I pay $434 for a flight in a cramped leather chair you better damn well know I may lean back. I will however assess the person behind me to find balance in my needs and theirs. However if you are a punk about it I will go from sitting up straight to smashed back in .2 seconds- especially if you are being an a-hole to a flight attendant.

I get it these things are cramped. Just be more selective in seat selection. If you tell me you can't afford the $29 upgraded seat then barring only a few circumstances (travel to funeral) then do you really need to be flying in the first place?

What kinda ink she have on her thigh?

As far as reclne, u am like a domino, you recline in front of me I go back my 4 inches too.


There is so very little change in legroom that it seems you are being a tad bit of a shiner. The top hoes back like 4 inches, down at the bottom it moves about an inch
