Which Airline has the Best and Worst Economy Class Seat?

[@theaviationastronomychannel]

It irritates me so much that people are hating on low-cost carriers because without them,family’s wouldn’t be able to go on vacation if the plane tickets were so high and I know it’s not emirates first class but I hope that we can all agree that low-cost is very important.

[@wowoking2]

yeah absolutely, especially for europeans. Americans would spend hundreds going to a popular tourist spot like Rome. In europe a low cost flight with Ryanair will make you spend ~30 euros

[@Angultra]

ANA was the best for me, service and food were great and they have a unique way of reclining where it slides your seat bottom forward instead of tilting the back. Such a great way to avoid any intrusion on the person behind.

[@michaelcavalier8750]

I think that the word "recline" is abused by airlines. No one would buy a living room recliner that "reclined" whatever it is, 4 inches or so. I would do away with reclining economy seats altogether.

[@Angultra]

@@michaelcavalier8750 Agreed we can get rid of it, why get into arguments over a couple inches of recline.

[@RafaRadityo7]

Didn't United use to have 2-5-2 seats on their 777s?

[@msc25]

only bad thing is they codeshare with United and it's hard to tell which flight is serviced by whom, especially for flights to/from the US

[@inisipisTV]

I feel JAL is slightly roomier. ANA is more newer and has more Toilet cubicles (guess we can guess where those 2 missing toilets in JAL went)

Thanks Sam nice somebody is covering economy class which most of us use. JAL have always rated highly.

[@phunk8607]

Totally agree!!!! So comfy that I didn’t realised the 8 hr trip back to Sydney from Japan

[@buzzukfiftythree]

Cramming more seats in increases airline profits, but it also keeps flight prices down. I think one has to accept no-frills, low-cost airlines like Ryanair as ‘buses’ to get you from A to B as quickly as possible. That said, I simply couldn’t cope with an economy seat for more than a 4 hour flight - I would have to pay for a premium or business class seat. I find after a few hours in economy I get very bad cramps in my lower body and legs.

[@KenzyJce]

I'm 6ft 2 so not that big but I somehow can deal with economy seats, some reason I like being cramped😂

[@ARTA8SIMS]

Totally agree with JAL seats, man it was good on the 787

[@calebchan9497]

I'm about 6 ft and probably the most legroom I ever experienced was on Alaska Airlines' Airbus A320 Premium Economy when my family and I flew from San Francisco to Seattle. I don't recall having bad legroom throughout all my times I flew on Economy though. I might have, but it might be a time when I was very young and thus, I cannot remember.

[@ldioneil07]

I once flew long haul on JAL and had both the corner seats to myself. It was basically first class with the room you get.

[@matthiasredler5760]

The Air New Zealand "Sky Nest" is really cool!!

[@magnustan841]

I really appreciate Airlines that go the extra mile to make the journey more comfortable, a bottle of water, tilting IFE screen and a comfortable pillow are some things I look out for. I’ve flown on many 787s, I’ve never had problems with 9 seats per row. I just flew on my first 10-abreast 777 and I didn’t notice much change from 9-abreast, plus I’m a decently large. Interested to hear what everyone else’s experiences.

[@johnchapman3601]

Just flown 14.5hrs on Cathay 777-300ER with a 10 abreast and a miserable flight. I am 6.2 and was cramped.

[@dmitripogosian5084]

Air Canada 10-abreast 777's are miserable. I remember not that long ago when they were 9 abreast :(

[@marchlopez9934]

Economy seats have become increasingly cramped, with thinner and more closely spaced seats. However, not all economy seats are created equal. Japanese airlines are leading the way with economy class, with JAL's 787 Dreamliner offering a wider seat than any other plane in the world, with two seats on each side of the aisle instead of the usual three. Several airlines still offer a nine seat per row configuration on their A330-300 planes, including Air China, Asiana Airlines, and Turkish Airlines, giving passengers a bit more width on long haul flights. Air New Zealand offers a unique economy lay-flat option, where passengers can purchase up to three seats to form a sky couch, essentially creating their own bed in economy class. This option is priced between economy and premium economy. The A380 is another aircraft that offers more legroom in economy class, with ANA from Japan offering particularly roomy economy seats on their flying honu flights between Tokyo and Honolulu.

[@tapiocamango]

I used to commute from LA to Vietnam all the time with JAL! They're Dreamliner space is great. It's true what Sam says about it.

[@richardacevedo280]

It's a quiet lady of the skies too :)

[@dereklenzen2330]

As someone who flies Spirit Airlines a lot, I have to put the 28-inch seat pitch into context. The narrow seat pitch is not as bad as it sounds, due to the fact that the seats do not recline on Spirit and most other ultra-low-cost carriers. Also, the seats are built narrowly, which gives a little bit more legroom. It's still kind of a tight fit, and I would recommend tall travelers pay extra for an exit row, but I've never found it to be too uncomfortable for a 2- or 3- hour flight.

[@rmramirezc]

La comodidad depende mucho de la estatura del pasajero y de si es obeso o delgado, pero en términos generales para vuelos de no más de 2 horas ya viéndonos generosos hasta 4 horas son tolerables para alguien que mida hasta 1.75 m.ñ

[@dereklenzen2330]

@@rmramirezc Sí, es cierto. para mi, soy delgado y tengo altura de 5' 11". Realmente me gusta mucho Spirit porque tengo ingreso bajo y no me molesta unas horas en un asiento incomodo para salvar $400 más or menos cada vez que viajo a la República Dominicana para visitar a mis suegros.

You can also sit in their first class. I think while bringing my own food, I would find it to be 5 hours plus.

[@michaelf.h8507]

I was very surprised how pleasant economy was from KIX to LHR on a 777 . I flew out on Business class which was really good with great food and superb service. BA actually switched me to JA after cancelling their own ''out bound''. As an aside the best economy short haul seat for comfort I found on an older JA Boeing 737 -just like the large airline seats in the 1980;s.Thanks for your excellent analysis in this useful video.

[@adrien1320]

I was also very surprised when I flew from LHR to LAX in economy class in 2013 with BA, it was pleasant. I came back in premium economy also with BA and for me at that time, their economy and premium economy classes were better than those of Air France

[@smart4141]

@samChui : I recently travelled from New Delhi-Tokyo Haneda-New Delhi on ANA Economy. The food was excellent. The legroom was just ok as the seats weren't cramped. The best thing was the food.

[@driver288]

Thank you so much Sam for this economy run down for us regular people 😊. This was indeed very useful. Especially since Thai Airways was mentioned in the list as a somewhat better economy experience. I guess the Emirates premium economy is a good widely available option too. Some of the offerings mentioned are somewhat more limited in availability or only exist in some regions.

[@nickno2980]

The 777-300er was with 3-3-3 seats back when its first established by Boeing, but with the development of “bad seats”, its now 3-4-3, and in the upcoming 777x, Boeing made it originally with 10 seats per row. I can’t imagine will it become 11 seats next? BTW, one more interesting thing is that Airbus updated the safety guideline for the A350, and they are able to put 10 seats per row now😢

[@marcd6897]

yeah, but in the end it’s always the airline that decides whether to put 9 or 10 seats in, not the airframe manufacturer.

[@chaddawsome9302]

the 777x is only 4in wider than the regular 777. I don't see any airline putting an 11 abreast in it. If any airline needs to do that then they have some really issues that they need to figure out.

[@sergiolaurencio7534]

The 777x would just be some wide in order to be comfortable but not to the point to have another seat add it. So it would not be that bad. The a350, well, that another story.

[@MariusClausen-bf2kw]

[@anthony64632]

Not only low cost carriers, other airlines too..I booked an economy seat on Lufthansa from Germany to South Africa, paid for ticket ,then had to book seat afterwards which means seats with extra leg room are sold out . I am 6 ft 4 inch . I prefer to choose seat before paying for seat and airfare

And as usual, the best economy seats don't apparently exist in any North American airlines. That shouldn't surprise anybody. That would be favourable to the passenger, and certainly they can't have that. Profit over comfort every time. Thanks Sam.

[@marklnz]

I recently flew in the upstairs economy section of a Lufthansa A380 - do NOT recommend! Yes it's a smaller cabin, so there are fewer people with you, meaning there's never really a queue for the toilet, and you get your meals more quickly (they still ran out of options though - on one meal in EACH direction). The main issues I had though were that firstly, the overhead bins above the window-side seats were TINY - I couldn't even get my backpack into them. So bin space is a real issue. If you sit in a window seat though, they do have extra bins in the "wall" below the window. There's a "window sill" that opens to reveal a bin you can put things in for easy access.The other big issue is that the seats themslves were the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE seats I've ever sat in!!! The seat cushions were thin, and not properly attached to the seat frame so they moved around a lot. I do not recommend travelling in the upper deck economy class seats in a Lufthansa A380.

[@enjoypladecorrals]

Well seat pitch is important to me with 1.93 cm height. Yet what also counts is just how they treat economy class passengers. I think the same smile and engagement is also important cause when you fly cheap you don't want to be treated cheap. That starts with check in procedure by the way. I don't mind waiting but I do mind a condescending attitude. With these airlines I fly if I have no other choice but will be prepared for adversity the moment I enter the terminal. So for low cost carrier my best experience is with vueling from Spain even if their seat pitch is not really very good.

Low cost also have seats you can pay a little extra and have loads of legroom. I recently flew AA and Delta and the extra legroom cost $20 and i had nobody beside me on one ( i lifted arm) and in both the seat in front was a full seat away. Reserved locker space too. You pay for what you get!! Book early save $$$ and it funds the upgrade. The A380 missing seat has two benefits. The seat in front can recline and affect nobody and the seat behind gets legroom...free

Yesterday, wife and I flew 11 hours from Rome to Incheon Korea in economy on a Korean Air B777-300 with 3-3-3 seating arrangement. Had spacious leg room. Korean Air is great! The long 11 hour flight was very comfortable. You get blanket, pillow, soft slippers, small toothbrush and toothpaste, and a headset (not ear buds). The pretty Flight attendants all about 5 ft 8 iin were very friendly, charming, and very helpful. They were the ones who made the long flight enjoyable. Dinner and breakfast food was delicious! Red wine hit the spot! Had chuk for breakfast. The Incheon Korean Air Premium lounge food with Korean flovor touch was delicious! Then flew 8 hr from Incheon to Honolulu on Korean Air B747-8 with 3-4-3 seating arrangement. Wasn't as spacious as the Rome - Incheon B777-300, but was comfortable. Pretty flight attendants this flight were also about 5 ft 8 in, very friendly, charming, and very helpful. Korean Air is "first class" in economy. Korean air is definitely one of the best in our opinion.

[@thyip6167]

Many airlines around the world are moving toward a 3-3-3 and even a 3-4-3 in their Economy Class cabins of a widebody aircraft for several reasons. One of the primary reasons is to increase revenue by accommodating more passengers in the same space. For instance, Airbus A380plus, a concept that could have seen as many as 80 seats added to the superjumbo across all classes, would have increased the total seats onboard by 23-40 roughly, a huge revenue generator for airlines. Additionally, the wide cabin of the Airbus A380 gave operators the chance to add another seat in economy, without sacrificing too much in terms of width. For reference, Emirates’ typical economy class on the A380 has a 3-4-3 configuration with 18 inches of seat width, a pretty standard international offering. However, there are trade-offs to consider. The more seats an airline adds, the less space each passenger has, which can lead to discomfort and dissatisfaction. Some airlines have opted for a 2-5-2 seating arrangement, which provides more space for passengers and allows for easier evacuation and service.

[@thyip6167]

One of the reasons why the Airbus A330 (including its neo versions) is my favorite aircrafts of all time is because of their 2-4-2 seating configuration in Economy Class, which is perfect for passengers who want a direct aisle access in all classes. The 3-3-3 configuration of the Airbus A350 XWB, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and Comac C929 (previously known as CR929) and the 3-4-3 configuration of the Boeing 777 (including its successor, the 777X) are cramped and could be difficult to access the aisle. If the widebody aircraft I'm going to travel on has an Economy Class configuration of other than 2-4-2, I'll opt to travel in Business Class or even Premium Economy because they provide direct aisle access.

[@edmundchan6389]

[@franceskinskij]

as an Italian I will tell you, many of ITA's A320s are being recycled from Alitalia and I remember flying on some of those at ages 10-12 on regional flights and even back then the legroom on those was not that pleasant. Even though they were 1 hour long flights the service was not that good, to be honest, it was like a slightly better version of a low cost airline, at least when it came to short flights. Now, I haven't flown ITA yet but I think there is room for improvement: I've already seen people talk about the service becoming better and slowly leaving the "Alitalia attitude" behind and since ITA has decided to go full Airbus on the fleet they are obviously replacing older planes with Neo types and I hope those also will have improvement (just in the past few weeks a few A330neos have already been delivered). Even though my country is more notorious for its high speed rail I hope our flag carrier comes back just as strong if not more than Alitalia (which was so poorly run that a satyrical radio show even made a full musical out of it)

i booked a ticket with scoot forgetting about the seat pitch. and i'm glad both flights its on their dreamliner, seatmap states its 31". if i had booked their A321-200neo, it would be 28-29", that would be uncomfortable. i at least had the foresight to book an aisle seat, so if i cant fit, i can always spill into the aisle my previous flight was with airasiaX, i just had 1 inch gap from my knees.

JAL 787-9 Boston to Tokyo economy has been wonderful. Now I know why.

[@889sa]

I personally think that etiquette is more important than space. Nowadays, many traditional large airlines have become increasingly narrow in economy class in order to carry more people. There is no need to buy A380 and 747 to make the economy class wider and wider. I think it’s ok that the economy class is cramped and I don’t like the seat back recline function in economy class, but airlines still have to set etiquette rules to protect the rights of the passengers in front to avoid unpleasant long journeys for the passengers in front.
