This week, Canadian airline WestJet became one of the first to try to switch the ability to recline into a paid “perk” by announcing that it was reconfiguring 43 of its Boeing 737-8 MAX and 737-800 (BA) planes to have what it classifies as a “refreshed range of seating options.”
I’ll pay extra to disable the person in front of me from being able to recline their seat.
As it is, I never use seat recline because there isnt fucking room.
They cost $42,95 but I kinda think it’s a shitty move when you can upgrade to extra legroom in most flights.
Knee dedenders
I’m 6’3". Why should I have to pay while stubbies don’t?
Sure then they should have reduced the cost of non reclining seats and nobody would care. But they are charging more for something they was included before.
where exactly is there not room, in your experience?
in mine, it just doesn’t really matter, so I’ve never been able to relate to comments like this, and nobody ever actually explains the details of why there isn’t room
I could understand somebody with long legs and the seat going back three quarters of an inch is enough to make a difference, but that’s about it, and that seems pretty uncommon to me because most people are not 6ft tall. although I’m not accounting for slouching
I’m over 6 feet. Only place in westjet flights I have enough legroom to not be unhealthy are the exit aisle and the first one behind second class seats.
