peterfoster+FollowWhy Airplane Seats Feel Tighter Every YearEver feel like airplane seats are shrinking? You’re not imagining it. WestJet’s new seats are so cramped, even flight attendants are apologizing. One TikToker called them “unsafe and absurd” after her partner’s knees were jammed into the seat ahead. The airline squeezed in more rows by cutting legroom to just 28 inches—ouch! While it’s technically legal, flyers and even pilots aren’t happy. Next time you book, check seat pitch and maybe splurge on extra legroom if you can. Your knees will thank you! #Business #Industry #airtravel00Share
