+62 Reclining Your Airplane Seat Is Fine, amirite?

by Anonymous 1 day ago

I mostly fly lowcost in Europe and the seats don't recline. And it's fine by me.

I don't disagree with you, the seats recline, so you might as well do it. Typically I only recline if the person in front of me does first. I'm a very large person (6'4" and about 250 lbs) I don't fit very well in a plane in any circumstances and if the person in front of me reclines it's way worse.

My mother who is a retired flight attendant (stewardess) agrees with this. Well, I'm sold on the idea now. But I do agree. There is nothing wrong with it.

FYI it's the airline not the plane manufacturer that chooses the seat configuration, they can and do even change leased aircraft to suit their operations.

If you're on a 12‑hour flight, then reclining your seat (apart from during food service) is completely acceptable. Especially when the cabin lights are dimmed , it is sleep time.

Yes. Also on a 1 hour flight during the day.

Agree. I paid for the seat. If it can recline and I want to recline because im tired, it's easier on my back, etc. I am.
