Plane 2 (The real conundrum)

[Slab]

Do you :

1. Fully recline
2. Recline a wee bit
3. Not inclined to recline at all

And why?

(there's too many do it for there to be no one on the forum that does)

 

[AmandaJR]

All depends on whether there's some snotty kid kicking the back of my chair - with equally snotty parents not doing anything about it

 

[Neilds]

My last few flights have been (and will be) EasyJet so reclining is not an option

 

[backwoodsman]

The cheapskate airlines I normally normally fly with don't provide an option to recline ...

(Edit: Darn, beaten to it)

 

[Lord Tyrion]

The simplest thing is to stop reclining in the first place. Fix the seats so it can not happen. If I ran an airline, this is what I would bring in.

I wont recline unless the person in front of me fully goes back, leaving me with little choice. Otherwise I wont do it as I think it impacts the person behind too much.

If it's a long/overnight flight then everyone does it

I did long haul in the summer just gone and the people in front of me both ways didn't recline, so neither did I. It isn't compulsory.

Well if I'm on a long overnight flight and you are sat behind me then tough

 

[backwoodsman]

Can't quite remember when I was last on a flight where you could recline. But, for me, seats dont recline enough to make any difference as regards sleeping. So I never bother. I find it more comfy being more upright.

I always recline a little, as soon as I sit down.

 

[GreiginFife]

Last flight to New York the Delta seats were cool, as the reclined they moved forward meaning you didn’t encroach on the person behind too much. I spent most of the flight home reclined and asleep (night flight).

What is the percentage rate of times you get told to move it to upright by the air stewards before take off? They are normally quite hot on that.

Oh you're one of those that the cabin crew have to waste time on getting the seats up straight so we can take off...

 

[Deleted member 36735]

Assuming it's a long-haul flight, it's designed to fully recline to give you the most comfortable position and to help sleep, hence that's where it goes.

I guess people who think we should keep it upright also don't understand zip-merging

Only once ever. The seat is hardly reclined, just made less painful for me

No, I've already put my minimal carry on luggage away and am not infringing on anyone elses.

 

[D-S]

Lay flat beds - its the only way to go.

What has that got to do with anything?
All seats have to be in the upright position for take off and landing, that's not optional. The cabin crew have to waste time before take off getting those with seats not in the upright position to adjust them.

You know I was thinking about the consideration to others, of seat reclining, when typing it and thought about the zip-merge/Q jumper scenario too

Business class allows me to full bed recline
