The Essentials

Airlines with the Most Legroom

Let’s face it.

 

It’s getting more cramped in coach — not just in terms of the width of your seat but the space between the seat in front of you and your knees.

 

It’s getting to the point where many of us define a great flight by which one is the least uncomfortable.

 

So is there any good news? Well, it’s relatively good news.

 

Spirit Airlines’ seat is 17.5 inches wide and has 28 inches of legroom, Hawaiian Airlines’ seat is 18 inches wide with 30.1 inches of legroom, and United Airlines’ seats are 17.3 inches wide and have 30.2 inches of legroom.

 

But a few airlines do a better job. EVA Air’s economy seats are 17-18 inches in seat width, and have 31-33 inches of legroom, Japan Airlines’ seats are 17-19 inches wide and have 33-34 inches of legroom, and Singapore Airlines has an average seat width of 17-19 inches and average pitch of 32-34 inches.
