Which Airlines has the Best and Worst Economy Class Leg Room? There’s an impression that Economy seats are now more cramped. Seat backs are thinner than they once were. More seats got squeezed in each row. In this video, I listed 10 airlines that have the worst legroom. But you can also find some good Economy seats from this video.
The Japanese carriers really stand out of the pack in Economy Class. Japan Airlines is the world’s only airline to offer 8 abreast on the 787. All other airlines squeeze in one more seat with 9 seats per row on the 787.
Over time, Airlines also found ways to squeeze one more seat in each row (10 abreast) on the Boeing 777. In the video, I present a list of airlines that still has just 9 seats per row on the 777 which give you more width.
Air New Zealand and ANA have a pretty unique product to allow you to lie flat in Economy. Air New Zealand also has a future lie flat option called Skynest that provides passenger bunk space to lie flat in Economy.
The A380 - The world’s biggest passenger airliner are passenger’s favorite. There is 1 special seat on the main deck of the A380 that has amazing legroom. Find out more in the video. Asiana, Qatar Airways, British Airways, Lufthansa, and Emirates (2 class) A380 have Economy on upper deck seating which is quieter and more exclusive.
More and more airlines are upselling their economy Class. At the forward section of Economy and at exit rows, you will find Economy Plus or Economy space which has a couple more inches of legroom. At the end of the video, explore some of the best Premium Economy airline products.
It irritates me so much that people are hating on low-cost carriers because without them,family’s wouldn’t be able to go on vacation if the plane tickets were so high and I know it’s not emirates first class but I hope that we can all agree that low-cost is very important.
Sam, Adria is bankrupt since around 3 years ago. Do your research
My butt were painful after sitting at Saudi's very hard and worn out seats.
thanks for wearing socks on the flight.
i think ethiopia❤
Real beds are perfect
Asiana is the best!! :)
Airlines with seat pitch of 28” should not have seats that recline. I know some already do but the ones that don’t should remove the recline capability. 😡
air premia has 35 inches😊
2-4-2 are the best.
ANA was the best for me, service and food were great and they have a unique way of reclining where it slides your seat bottom forward instead of tilting the back. Such a great way to avoid any intrusion on the person behind.
Totally agree with JAL seats, man it was good on the 787
Cramming more seats in increases airline profits, but it also keeps flight prices down. I think one has to accept no-frills, low-cost airlines like Ryanair as ‘buses’ to get you from A to B as quickly as possible. That said, I simply couldn’t cope with an economy seat for more than a 4 hour flight - I would have to pay for a premium or business class seat. I find after a few hours in economy I get very bad cramps in my lower body and legs.
I'm about 6 ft and probably the most legroom I ever experienced was on Alaska Airlines' Airbus A320 Premium Economy when my family and I flew from San Francisco to Seattle. I don't recall having bad legroom throughout all my times I flew on Economy though. I might have, but it might be a time when I was very young and thus, I cannot remember.
Another interesting video Sam.... you put your own stamp on your these evaluations...I admire your forthright approach to these issues and always look forward to each and every video release... Thank you.... Roger.... Pembrokeshire UK
Thank you so much Sam for this economy run down for us regular people 😊. This was indeed very useful. Especially since Thai Airways was mentioned in the list as a somewhat better economy experience. I guess the Emirates premium economy is a good widely available option too. Some of the offerings mentioned are somewhat more limited in availability or only exist in some regions.
I once flew long haul on JAL and had both the corner seats to myself. It was basically first class with the room you get.
Thanks Sam nice somebody is covering economy class which most of us use. JAL have always rated highly.
I used to commute from LA to Vietnam all the time with JAL! They're Dreamliner space is great. It's true what Sam says about it.
The Air New Zealand "Sky Nest" is really cool!!
