On a flight: do YOU recline?

i try not to, but i also like to try to get the seats at the very front or very back, the ones that face each other... if im lucky, the flight wont be too crowded and i can put my feet up in the empty seat in front of me.

 

I've always felt it was rude so I refuse to do it when on a flight. There's already so little room on a plane but we're definitely a minority in this group, A87.

 

I'm 6'3, and fat. I could definitely use the extra room, but I never do it.


Will never forget that cunt on the flight from Italy to NY that reclined all the way. She was 5'3 tops. Luckily I had nobody next to me, so I was able to rotate my legs. But I still managed to bump her seat repeatedly on purpose. Take the fucking hint.


Pet peeve of mine I guess because it's a miserable experience for me, so I try not to make the experience more dreary for other people. Just wish they would return the favor.

 

Have any of you flown on Spirit or Frontier lately? They got rid of reclining seat all together! It's not even an option. I think maaaayyybe, Spirit still keeps a few reclining seats in their first class section.

 

The only time I ever have was once on a short flight (~2 hours) and I was just sore/exhausted as hell, but I asked them if they minded first, then when I did asked if that was okay and then to tell me if they want it back up. They looked completely shocked at the courtesy. I only reclined it slightly though.

 

This should be standard issue protocol.

 

I recline a slight bit if I wanna take a nap....I don't think it's rude, but I also don't put my seat all the way back like an asshole.


It's far more rude to bring a brat child who never shuts up or stops moving around a plane than to adjust your seat, imo....little shit kids have ruined more flights for me than someone putting their seat back

 

I assume since the people pay for their seat, which reclines, they will use it if they want. The only time I'm non plussed about it is when I need to work on a flight and there's not enough room for the monitor to open enough and type. Otherwise, I think folks should just plan on them reclining and be happy if they don't.

 

There's deff an extent to how much one should recline.


If the person in front of me has their seat reclined, chances are I am gonna recline mine as well.

 

Everyone should just recline and be done with it. Free drinks for everyone too

 

I try and be courteous but im also a taller person and im not trying to be the only one on the plane whose NOT reclining.

 

I lean enough to to be comfortable but never enough to inconvenience anyone else. That's just disrespectful, we all paid for our seats, we should all have our space

 

No.


But the fuckers in front of me always do.

 

Not a problem in first...plenty of space to be had. So yeah, I recline...with a steady flow of beverages through the flight.

 

fuck you. i wish I could recline further...

what I hate is fat mother fuckers.
