Come on America - demand that the airlines make the seats & leg room on airplanes bigger!!
The last time a flew to Italy from the USA the seat was so small I was uncomfortable the whole trip - and I am 5 foot tall and weight 120 pounds. I can't imagine how awful it is for those that are taller and heavier than I am!

Here's a story that everyone should read ....

Mother: Airline rows too narrow for infant carrier

1. Don't count on it
I expect them to remove all seats and restrooms and throw straw on the floor.

5. Do they want to create claustrophobic basketcases?
They need to be sued for psychological damages

3. What airline did you fly?
Edited on Fri Jan-28-11 02:48 AM by HuckleB
I've flown to Europe, South America and Asia several times over the years, and I've never been uncomfortable the whole trip.

I'm 6'0" and have weighed between 175 an 200 pounds over time.
