Everyone has the right to recline their seat on an airplane. However, don’t be surprised or annoyed when the passenger behind you pulls or bumps against your chair while getting in or out of their seat. The passenger in front of me had his seat fully reclined, leaving me with limited space to get up. Although he had the right to recline, I wished he would tolerate the inevitable bumps and knocks that came with reduced mobility in the cramped space, and refrain from being passive-aggressive by constantly turning around to glare at me each time i…

Seat selection upcharge…? I am flying internationally as a group of 6 – 2 of our group is under 10 years old. It’s $5k to book basic, no seat selection until check in at 24 hours beforehand. Or I can pay $8k for upgraded economy tickets and I can choose seats upon booking. Is it worth the extra $3k? Will the minors really be forced to be separated from the group or our w…

Seat cushion/pad recommendation I’m looking for recommendations on an affordable (less than 50USD) and effective seat cushion/pad for use on long flights. Something that is packable/portable is preferable obviously. Not sure what works best between gel, memory foam, high density foam, and inflatables but I don’t want to spend $100+ on a Purple-brand cushion if I don’t have to…

Rise of “Seat Squatters” On my last Delta flight, I saw not 1, not 2, but 3 different seat squatting incidents during boarding. First was a guy that was supposed to be in 28C was all the way up in 12B and was trying to argue it was his seat. The next was a lady in 18A that was being adamant with the seat holder that she needed to be by the window and not in the middle. …

Seat selection issue So my partner and I are flying home to Canada after vacation. We are flying NCL-AMS-YEG-YYC-YKA. Business class with KLM. The flight was booked through KLM, but the last two flights are operated by Westjet, so we can’t select our seats for those legs on KLM website (though we can on the first leg which is German airways oddly enough) It occurre…

So while booking the train tickets on the OBB website theres an option of seat reservation for an additional 9 euros. I wanted to know if its necessary to reserve the seats?

LPT when flying use the overhead locker opposite your seat, not those above your seat. As a frequent flyer I can confirm using the overhead lockers opposite your seat (rather than those above your seat) makes it easier and faster to grab your bag. Yes you will be in the aisle, but you will be using the ones above your seat too. You avoid having to twist around to get your bag and you can see everything and line up on your bag quic…

My plane seat doesn’t exist I have a flight booked from to Qatar from the UK on a A350-900 with Qatar Airways. I prepaid for the Seat 10C, I only have an hour layover for my connection and wanted to be as close to the front as I could afford to be to make sure I make my connection. When I just looked at the seat map for a A350-900 this seat actually does not exist on this …

Virgin Atlantic Seat Types We travelled from the UK to the US in April 2023 with Virgin Atlantic and we booked Premium Economy seats. When I look at the seat types available on their website now, they seem to have introduced one or two new seat types. I presume to get the same kind of seat as we had last time I would need to book Premium now? https://preview.redd.it/f03a7…

Airport seat etiquette On a flight today and heard a heated argument in the row next to me. Turns out the person infront had fully reclined her seat, meaning the person behind had less leg room. They said they’re tall so dont have much as it is. Got quite seriously at one point as one accused the other of kicking the seat on purpose, and the cabin crew needed to step …

Stolen seat story with a happy ending My wife and I just returned from a trip and on our last leg I saw what looked like a blatant seat “thief” not only get away with it, but seemingly make friends with the “victim”. We’re sitting in 4C and 4D on a LAX to LAS Delta flight and I notice a solo traveler (maybe in his late 20s) sits across from me in 4A. Mush later in the boarding (like…

Should I give up my seat? Flying Norse from LA to London next week. My original flight was on thurs but then they cancelled that flight and bumped me to a flight on wednedsy, a full 24 hours before the one I booked. This was inconvenient but I rearranged my work schedule to accommodate the earlier flight since all the other flight options on other carriers are now expens…

Bench seat on short end of table? Long story short, on a rectangle dining table (48×84) I have one short side/end that backs up to a bench seat by a window wall. Is it weird to use chairs for the 3 other sides but leave one of the ends to use a bench? I don’t want to use it for the long sides but that’s all I ever see in pictures. Alternatively I was thinking of leaving both sho…

Eight seat dining table for sunroom We have a four season sunroom that is open to our kitchen, and it is the only real place to put a dining table. We want to replace our current one with a square or round table that could seat eight, either with or without a leaf. Any ideas for what might look nice? A few pics of space attached (the one with the oar is old but shows the space a …
