This seat was like no other I have ever had the displeasure to sit in. It was so narrow I am bruised
on my hips from the arm rests. Although I observed the safety procedures, if needed it would have
been impossible to either access the life jacket under the seat or take up the brace position. I
know there are laws regarding leg room pitch. Are there any regarding width? If so these must be in
breach of the law. Unless you are a size 0 stick insect, this airline is no good for you!
Review: 21 May 2007
Aircraft: Boeing 737-400
Name: Peter Neale
Position: Middle
Layout: 3x3
PAX size: Large
Recommended : No
Comfort Score : 3/10
Legroom space
This was an "extra Legroom" seat in Row 15, next to the over-wing emergency exit. Unfortunately,
Row 16 also has an emergency exit, so my seat did not recline at all. Pretty uncomfortable, despite
the legroom.
