re: #306 Feline Fearless Leader

For my trip to Malaysia last year we flew business class for the LA - Taipei - KL leg of the trip. Given that it’s 10+ hours in the air being squeezed into coach would have probably killed me.

On the way back I went from business class into LA to coach for the flight from LA to Chicago and then Chicago to Philadelphia. No space, can’t sleep (or even really doze) in near vertical position, and got my knees amputated by the jackass ahead of me fully reclining his seat at speed the moment we reached altitude.

My personal opinion is that the reclining range of airline seats needs to be severely limited even compared to the current range.

I actually almost always fly United on the rare occasions when I fly these days. American got rid of their Economy Plus seating and then moved the seats in even closer, so I couldn’t fly on that airline today without serious leg pain. I need extra legroom (6’4”).
