British Airways Is Introducing Seats That Don’t Recline
It has been amazing to see British Airways’ transformation over the past few years, as they’ve gone from being a relatively full service airline to an almost ultra low cost carrier. While they still offer different types of experiences depending on the cabin you’re traveling in, they’ve added more seats to planes, have eliminated free food & drinks in shorthaul economy, etc. (www.aviationnewsworld.info) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Yup reclining seats in cattle class are definitely antisocial i.e. have impact on the folks behind. I try not to recline my seat during waking hours and wait for the lights to go down in the cabin as a cue for rest, but only after Iv checked behind. I’ve witnessed a number of people have unpleasant flights due to bad tempers bought on by reclining seat forays. For a little mutual respect for fellow inhabitants cattle class is survivable !
Totally agree, I seldom recline but have often been behind someone with no thought for anyone else.
Actually, given they are doing this on short-haul flights, this is good news. Reclining seats in cattle class are a nuisance, given the legroom (read - lack thereof). And seriously: flying for an hour or two in Europe isn't much different than taking the Tube (London Underground to the uninitiated) to some end of the line. It's transport, no more, no less.
seats that don't decline is a consequence of reduced space between seats. Although airlines have a legal requirement to provide severely disabled seats with legroom there is no legislation to suggest that the average passenger can legally complain unless on the grounds of safety.It seems that all across the world airlines should agree minimum seat dimensions in the industry and address the all up weight and fat issue.
I was warned by a recent incident when an airliner whilst taxing was evacuated. the evacuation saw passengers injured as a result of restricted cabin layout, not the event itself.
Things need to change across the industry to publish and improve evacuation times before many people are killed.

As prices fall so does the service. I doubt any airline is able to offer an enjoyable flight, as the return on assets is the objective. Long haul still seems to offer a friendly level of service and comfort, but here too erosion is taking place. The CEO, CFO, COO plus the rest of the Board need to raise their bonuses and extortionate remuneration packages from somewhere!
Over half a million passengers who’s flights were cancelled due to pilot shortages at Ryan Air would probably disagree with you
Yes, good idea! I just had a 12-hour flight. My seat was damaged and I could not recline the chair, no problem! However the lady in front of me could recline it and she did... I was not able to leave the seat! No room enough between her seat and my neighbour passenger... in case of an emergency, yes I can imagine people will be wounded. It is a safety concern!
