SEAT PITCH

This is the distance between a row of seats - the measurement from the same position on two seats, one behind the other - it is NOT the legroom area as some believe. (For example, the back face of the seat in front of you, measured to the same point on the back face of the seat you are sitting in).


SEAT WIDTH

We have not included Seat Width in this table - this is largely due to considerable discrepancy between the way many airlines quote seat widths. Some provide the measurement between the inside of the armrests, others the distance between the middle of armrests etc. 

 

 

Seat pitch details are believed to be correct at time of publishing, but Skytrax cannot be held responsible for any errors that may exist. Please note that some figures represent new product installations that may not be completed or available across an airline's whole fleet of aircraft.
