AA economy seat pitch.
It was 31", than they had the more room in coach and increased it to 35".
They then put back the seats they had taken out and are now claiming, on their web site, their seat pitch is 33"-34". Is this an accurate figure or has it gone back to the original 31". -- Lansbury www.uk-air.net FAQs for the alt.travel.uk.air newsgroup |

On transatlantic a couple of weeks ago it felt like 33-34. It was definately more than 31. I'll give you another update next week :-) |

I was definitely out of knee space. -- Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations http://www.josephcoulter.com/ |

31" - a bit more on their international fleet, but their airplanes seem a
bit ratty to me these days (at least on my last 2 trips). jeff "Lansbury" wrote in message ... It was 31", than they had the more room in coach and increased it to 35".

The AA 757s I rode to and in the Caribbean last May must have been 33-34". Plenty of knee space. I've had knees-in-seat-in-front experience on United 747 and the AA 757 had a lot more space. |

No way would I contemplate flying long haul across timezones in Y at the frequency you do. Either you're paid substantially to do it or the person you see at the other end must be worth it!

Cheers, Howard I'm paid pretty well for sitting in the air watching movies and reading books :-) 3 days in the air this week, 1.5 days working, 0.5 days at the beach in LA all for a weeks pay. |

Or it did til they got rid of "More Room Throughout Coach." They're the same 31" as everyone else now. |

My lastest AA 757 experiences were four segments in May 2005. Please explain your contention that they have 31" pitch. Other airlines such as Southwest have more than 31" and I've ridden them recently and it's true. http://www.airlinequality.com/Produc...s_americas.htm [Which I think is old data before AA went back to denser seating.] |

explain your contention that they have 31" pitch. It's true. Look at the seat maps at www.seatguru.com. At this point, the only domestic coach seats I know of with decent space for us non-midgets are UA's Economy Plus and maybe Midwest's Signature service. R's, John |
