If you are a tall person, the reclined seat jams into your knees. Talk to me about your lack of reclining being worse when you literally can't move your knees for 4 hours because there's a hard piece of plastic jammed into your kneecaps. I'm 6'2'' which is tall but not unreasonably tall.

- Bahamut 9y agoSomeone doesn’t even have to be taller than average to feel the pain during flights. I’ve had multiple incidents where passengers inconsiderately reclined their seats without looking & asking, one time putting dangerous pressure on my laptop screen, and multiple times trapping my knees/preventing me from unlocking my knees...and I’m only 5’ 9”. One time the woman in front of me did it just so she could get more comfortable for using her laptop! There is almost no excuse for not asking before reclining unless it is a very long flight (i.e. 10+ hours) or if the person is that shitty. Sometimes I wish people with that little regard for others would be barred from the privilege of flying :( .
- city41 9y agoI've never asked before reclining nor have I ever seen anyone else ask, ever. As for laptops, I've completely given up on them on planes. It's just not feasible anymore.
- notyourwork 9y agoRight, I shouldn't have to ask to recline my seat.
- NickNameNick 9y agoA little consideration and warning would be nice. Why is everyone here being so aggressive about their 'right' to recline?
- notyourwork 9y agoDo I also need to signal when I move it forward in case you are leaning a tablet against it? I mean come on. Instead of looking at this from that point of view you should consider why you feel the need to be pre-warned of a passenger doing something they are allowed to do at any time. I get it that coach is tight but I shouldn't have to signal to everyone that I plan to recline my seat.
- NickNameNick 9y agoBecause you could injure me, or at least cause pain and discomfort when you slam your seat into my knees.
- notyourwork 9y agoI am reclining my seat a few inches, not swinging a door open. Claiming you could get injured from that is ridiculous unless you blatantly push your knees up against the seat in front of you. Sit upright with your butt all the way in the seat and you won't have this problem when others decide to recline which is within their rights.
- vogt 9y agoThe least you could do is acknowledge to the person behind you that you're about to do it. You're acting as if you're being told to file a permit. On the contrary, it's pretty common courtesy.
