Legroom Report

How much space will you have?

Traditionally, seating space on airlines is measured by "seat pitch", which is the distance between a point in the headrest on one seat and the same point on the seat in front of it. If an airline has a seat pitch of 32" in Economy Class, this means that there is a distance of 32" between the front of one seat and the front of the seat behind it.

While seat pitch is not the exact equivalent of "legroom", it gives a very good approximation of how much seat room you should expect.

Seat pitch varies from plane to plane; please treat this as a guide.
