Are airline seats big enough?

[scarps]

On the news today a plane was diverted because of a fight caused by someone using them. Airlines have not banned them but two have fixed the seats so they won't recline. I don't need them to stop people reclining back to far. 

if someone in front of me reclines all the way back, I just turn the overhead air vents to face their head.

There is always more than one way to fix a problem.

yep, I'm a whisker off hitting lifetime platinum, but not really sure that was ever on my bucket list. Not something I can leave the Grandkids.

If only I could be out camping/fishing for the same amount of time as I spend in the air....

6'8" here.  Hate flying.  Hate people who request the exit row who don't really need it.  It's the difference between actually fitting and having leg cramps.

Today it is, seat 1A on the Q400. I feel like I just one the lottery.

I had seats 9F and 6a for my 2 x flights today, and no-one alongside me on either flight. Geez, that makes a difference!

We left ADL an hr late, but managed to arrive in CNS only 10-15 minutes after the original scheduled arrival time, with a very quick stop over in SYD.

By the way, the Weather in Cairns is PERFECT!

Just flew Cathay to London last week and I am only a small person but she was a bit cramp.

Flying along in a 10 seater turbo prop Caravan. Someone dropped their guts about 5 mins ago and it still smells like a septic tank in here. Pigs..

Jetstar are great, my wife and I boarded a Jetstar plane in Cairns to fly to Sydney a while back. We had seats 5A and B from memory but the seats on the plane went from 4 to 6 with no row 5. The steward made us wait near the toilets until the rest of the passengers boarded then they would see whether they could find seats for us. They eventually found a couple of seats and apologized for our inconvenience, they then said it happens all the time on that plane because of the missing row.  From Sydney we had another Jetstar flight to Adelaide, went to check in and were told our flight had been cancelled due to insufficient seats being sold. They told us to sit down and they would try to find us a couple of seats on another flight which they eventually did on a Virgin flight.

Worst airline though would go to Etihad, flew with them from Abu Dhabi to Sydney, 14 hours in the smallest airline seats I have ever sat in. I am 180cm (5"11") and slim yet my knees were in the back of the seat in front and my shoulders were wider than the seat back. Service was non existent, they closed the curtains and dimmed the lights for the entire flight and the stewards all disappeared to the first class section. Apparently that is usual when there are spare seats in first class.

QF club in OOL is awesome, kids section to keep mini me amused before boarding

Wish me luck Swaggers.
Fliying to Houston from Singapore tonight on the pathetic Emirates.
It is a 777 all the way.
These sods have 3-4-3 seating across the plane. Normaly, on a good airline, it is 3-3-3. This means the seats are more narrow.
Best is the flights are 7 hours then 16 hours.
Love my job.........

Just back from Austria.
Flew Emirates, haven't had a problem with them in the 4-5 international flights I've had with them.

We scored an upgrade to Business on the Dubai - Vienna sector - very nice.

We asked for & got Exit Asile seats for the other 3 sectors.
Be early, Be Nice to the Checkin staff, and don't be a short bastard who doesn't need it!
