Not sure if this made it here or not, but WSJ looks at airline seats. Long haul flights are getting the 17" seats in coach, now

Which diminishes my desire to fly even further.

Those 17" seats are brutal for someone 6'2" with broad shoulders. I sit with shoulders pulled forward and legs tucked already and feel like a damn pretzel by the time we get where we're going.

An overseas flight might actually kill me.

- I just measured my desk chair. if you weigh over 175, these will be tight -- nm - Ancient Alien Theorist Oct 29, 12:08
17" width is tough regardless of height, if you have any width to you at all. - ty97 Oct 29, 12:02
