My view is that it’s fine for me to recline but very inconsiderate for the person in front of me to recline

The people saying it’s selfish to recline your seat clearly haven’t been on many long haul flights

Reclining your seat in economy is the single most selfish thing a person can ever do.

It’s mad people think it’s ethically wrong to recline a seat 😂

If you’re flying two hours to Spain, don’t recline your seat.. but if you’re flying long haul you absolutely can recline your seat

I never recline and I tell the person in front to put their seat back up cos they’re not about to start a chain of reclining 😂

I’m team not recline because I HATE it happening to me.. I was lucky enough to have a back row seat recently so could reclined without feeling guilty 😊

Also if you have a massive issue with people reclining seats just book the seats without people infront of you

Claire Ironside :
I’ve had drinks spilled over me as the person infront reclined their seat knocking everything off my tray, I also find that you cannot watch anything on your screen as it faces it down too much 1/2

I think there’s a time and space for reclining. On a long haul flight? 100% recline. Budget ryanair/easy jet 3 hour flight- probably not x

the lost booktoker 📚✈️ :
The only time it’s maybe debatable is eating a meal because the trays don’t sit on the table if the seat is back but otherwise do whatever you like, you pay to be able to recline so do it

As a tall person who travels in economy, I am so uncomfortable if the person infront of me reclines. You can’t be sure who is sitting behind you so pls ffs dont recline your seat !!

I think recline but to a certain point and respectfully !! On my way back from New York a person put their seat all the way back and I was watching the telly which i then couldn’t see AT all🙄

I asked the lady in front if she could not recline just for dinner service (she was fully reclined). She says no cause the person in front of her is reclined (they were barely even reclined).‼️

I have never reclined my seat, it always feels so rude to the person behind, what if they’re using their tray? Then you recline and it slants, they can’t use it anymore? Plus it doesn’t actually 1/2

I can’t grasp the annoyance about this, everyone has a nicer flight reclined, it’s actually quite selfish to expect someone not to?? It’s put as a feature for a reason ahaha

Katharina Hillmer :
I think it’s rude to recline without checking with the person behind you. Gives them time to finish their drink, re-position their laptop and so on.

Rebecca Smyth :
I have personally never found it to be more comfortable to recline. The discomfort it causes the person behind me is not worth that. I’m also 6ft1 so get my legs crushed if someone in front reclines.

Bruh :
If I paid for the seat, it’s going back. Unless it’s food service time or a short flight, if you don’t like it, go business or first class 🤷♀️

I don’t know where the ppl who say they don’t recline are flying, but I fly long haul several times a year and EVERYONE reclines

Night time: reclined, meals : straight. The planes were designed with that intention so it’s such a weird debate 😅

I feel quite lucky in that every long haul flight I’ve been on, everyone has always followed the same rules. Recline when the lights go out and then when the meals come out, seats straighten up

if u need personal space then book the seats with extra leg room

My opinion is that they need to change the recline mechanism. Make it recline by pushing the seat part forward instead of the back moving back. That way only the person reclining is impacted.

A long haul flight where ppl are sleeping is one thing but reclining on a short haul flight is foul😭

Why is this even a debate 😭 i prefer if the person infront reclines their seat too bcos it brings the TV thing closer

Georgie :
I have autism so occasionally will ask people not to recline their seats because of the sensory issues caused when my personal space is limited, so maybe this was a similar experience here?

Belle :
I think it’s selfish to recline your seat. Especially in economy where room is already cramped. Your tv screen is also hindered on some planes.

eva14 :
as a flight attendant it's ridiculous the amount of arguments I've seen passengers have over this issue. unless we're doing a meal service you can recline your seat!

Emily :
Also if someone asked me not to, I 100% wouldn't recline. It's obviously important to them and reclining really doesn't make that much difference to comfort

Emily Clarke :
Truly don’t get it- surely we all want to recline and be as comfortable as possible?

Recline, there should be enough space for the person behind..

You best believe for the price I paid for a long haul flight and the sleep I need I’m reclining my seat

Last week I was on a flight back from Aus - person in front reclined whilst I had my tray out, absolutely no room, felt so claustrophobic and also couldn’t see my TV because it was on a slant :(

pandora :
I wouldn’t ask someone to stop reclining but I don’t think you should recline - it massively invades the person behind you’s space, they can’t use

martine skaret :
my opinion is always recline on night time flights but not in the daytime and also not when food is served
2024-04-09 14:50:23

Eleanor Morrison :
I think it’s become more of an issue because the space between rows has become noticably smaller so now it feels so claustrophobic if someone in front of you reclines

tom nook :
I was on a 14 hour flight recently and someone behind me asked me to not recline my seat after the dinner service. I said no you can recline yours too and the person in front of me had theirs down

Luckily I fly business class so I don’t have to deal with this, but honestly if you recline in economy you’re an inconsiderate person.

I always thought it was a common courtesy to not recline your seat! I always felt so rude doing it… I hate making other people uncomfortable and would always feel so guilty I wouldn’t even enjoy it!

Recline always unless food is being served. It’s a function for a reason lol

agree and actly thought it was common courtesy not to recline all the way back too. but i guess the 'i paid for this' mentality prevails

The only time I don’t recline my seat and expect the same from others is during meal service. That is it!

Long haul night time - fine to recline, long haul day time - I don’t unless the person in front of me does, short haul - never do

Being really tall myself if someone reclines it is a nightmare for my knees, but also my knees will be imprinted in their backs too so it’s equal pain
