Airplane Seat Reclining

Would be easier if airplane seats weren't as cramped.

Large people seem to feel entitled to sit in 25% of my seat on airplanes. I'm tired of subsidizing their air travel!

I get significant pain when I sit fully upright. If I must fly I need to recline. I've been to a doctor (and had surgery...) but the pain is there and reclining is required for minimal comfort. Deal with it, the seats are small, but my seat is going to affect you, you are just a jerk for thinking you need that extra space.

Don't tell the airlines, they will start charging more for those seats!

I was on a flight just yesterday, placed in a middle seat, where the two gentlemen flanking me rolled over the arm rests into my seat space. As an unhealthily slender man I am 100% comfortable subsidizing not having my seat space invaded by people who have a different shape than I. I don’t want to pay extra to personally avoid it, as I could in first class, I want to pay extra to make sure nobody suffers either side of the problem: these men were both profusely apologetic and embarrassed, and I’

The solution to being picky about other people reclining is to pay for a better seat. (Front cabin or exit row.)

Standing is more comfortable than sitting in those tiny seats so you'd have to pay extra.

I don't understand the fuss over reclining seats. It's not like that feature is added by accident or something. They're intended to recline. It's a feature for the person occupying the seat. If I want to use it, I will use it whenever the rules allow me to. Likewise, I will plan the use of the area behind the seat in front of me with the assumption that they may recline their seat at any time it's allowed. This may make it difficult for me to use my laptop. That&#

Maybe you should take your own needs into account when buying your ticket, and choose seats without reclining seats in front of them then. Such as those in the exit row, or those in the front row.I won't book a ticket if I have to sit in front of the exit row, or in the last row on an aircraft. The idea that you should not have to factor in similar preferences when booking your flights strikes me as nothing more than entitlement.

I dont see anything wrong with your first link. If someone can't fit in their seat they should buy two seats or not fly.
