    I’m 5ft 2 and I feel like I barely fit in an airplane seat. And God forbid I have to use the restroom during the flight.

    Restrooms smaller than portable Scotty potties.

    I’m not someone who has claustrophobia but I’ll be real. Those restrooms feel like a coffin. And being on a flight longer 2 hours is a test of my mental fortitude.

    I’ve been on an airplane a few times for about 9 hours and I honestly felt slightly traumatized by the experience.

    Id love to travel to farther places but I don’t think I can handle those 13 hr flights.

      All so rich people can rent entire apartments in the sky. Their seats get bigger while ours get smaller, doubly so for bathrooms.

    I am not that tall, but tall enough that my knee hits the plastic protection piece on the front seat, it is not fun.

    Oh come on, they aren’t all like that.

    This one is great for those who want to smell farts blasted right into their faces.

    concept for airlines that's very cramped and ass to mouth

      That feels so claustrophobic for the poor belowdecks person. You think they do seating based on phobia for this shit? You know, make the experience of flying just a tiny bit more miserable with bodily dread and stuff?

    If it was really down to airlines they’d design airplanes for sardines…

    Last time I flew on a plane the armrest from the seat in front of me actually cut my knee there was so little room. My only other option was to get my leg run over by the drink cart.

    Not just airlines (or rather plane manufacturers) but bus and train manufacturers, too. And car makers when it comes to the back seats. Basically any company producing means of multi-person transportation.

      Not just airlines (or rather plane manufacturers)

      Distance between seats is determined by the airline, not the plane manufacturers. The seats mount on rails and are easily moved around by the airlines to optimize amount of possible seats.
