Pay for the "Economy Plus" seats. They're like $20 more on Delta, and you get 2-3" more legroom. Totally worth it.
But in general, airlines like tighter seat pitch as it lets them (perhaps) get another row into the cabin, and that's another 4-9 passengers per flight.
Seatguru has a sortable grid of seat layout. I won't be on airberlin anytime soon (29" seat pitch, no way!)

Turns out, it was $120 more for each leg of the trip. So no, I chose not to, even though I'm 6'1". Instead, I got a seat at one of the emergency exits.
- chiph 14y agoAh, Amsterdam to Tampa -- that's why it was that much more. I'm surprised you could get an exit-row seat. They're usually snapped-up by their diamond-level frequent fliers.
- Samuel_Michon 14y agoRight, no doubt the prices you mentioned are valid, but for domestic flights. I mostly fly transatlantic with Delta, that's why the upgrade (and its associated costs) is not a no-brainer for me. Also, I only snagged the exit row seat for the return flight. I don't qualify for Diamond level with Delta, as I fly with several different airlines (non-Skyteam). With Delta, I do qualify for 50% discount on upgrades, I listed the fees that basic members would pay.
