The Truth About Airline Seat Comfort: Finding Out What Makes Seats Comfortable

1. Do narrow seats mean less comfort?
Narrow doesn’t neccesarily mean uncomfortable. Airline seats vary greatly by the airline and aircraft type. However, having been in the aircraft industry for the last 40 years, we’ve noticed some changes in seat width. Since 1980, most standard airline seats have shrunk by about 2 inches.
2. Having your own personal space
What really matters is the overall passenger personal space – something we pay careful attention to. Almost 4 in 10 passengers say that to improve comfort on an airline, we should start with legroom. According to a study done by TripAdvisor, airlines generally offer 32 to 34 inches of legroom.
3. What your attitude is
In this case, it’s about the destination, not the journey. You have to deal with small airline seats with minimal legroom, we get it. But how else are you going to get there? We have to fly. It’s really not that bad when you think about it. Just enjoy the flight.
At the end of the day, you pay for what you get. So if you’re willing to splurge, you’ll be so comfortable you won’t even know you’re on an airplane. But if you’re willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort in exchange for seeing different parts of the world, you’re good to go.
