Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Thu Aug 28 00:08:32 2014, in response to United Airlines Seat Recliner Fight Leads To Early Landing, posted by LuchAAA on Tue Aug 26 22:39:56 2014. I recently had an incident on a flight where the woman in front of me insisted on reclining the seat in front of me for her young child (probably about 4 years old) a few minutes after we took off on a redeye. I asked her to move the seat up slightly since the fully reclined seat jammed my legs and she immediately summoned the flight attendant. When the FA came, she said I could be relocated to an Economy Plus seat on the aisle but it was the row in front of an exit row so it had no recline (I was originally assigned to a non-Economy Plus aisle). I took the offer, already having been separated from my traveling companion, but was quite worked up and didn't sleep well on the flight. I fly fairly often and I've never had anyone refuse that request before, though I may have been more defensive of my space on that flight since on a flight a few days earlier, a customer of size in the window seat spilled over in to the middle seat and that passenger spilled in to my space. I didn't say anything before we took off and was quite uncomfortable by the end of the flight.I read that airlines have not reduced the degree of recline as they've moved the seats closer together. They should reduce or eliminate recline, otherwise, these incidents are bound to continue happening. From now on, I will buy extra legroom seating on flights that offer it of a shorter duration as a result of my recent incident (my threshhold for purchasing it was previously much higher), but something needs to be done about the fact that with the current setups, there isn't enough room, even for average sized travelers. |
