Reclining on an airplane

[BWRhasnoAC]

Imma say it. Screw y'all, I'm reclining. If I sit straight up for 8 hours I won't be able to walk with my hip, lower back problems. If they don't want us to do it, then take the recline option away. I paid for my seat, I'm quiet and I don't expect much from anyone around me. You deal with your misery, I'll deal with mine.

@ChrisMWilliams tell Hassle I said sack up Nancy!

I assume you are boarding your flight pretty soon. Safe travels!

Reclining is acceptable when joining the mile high club.

No reclining allowed unless you ask first.

As someone who travels nearly weekly...

Recline your seat. Airplane seats recline only a couple of inches. It's not like you're laying them back into somebody's lap.

I don't recline, but am good if others do. I'm never on a flight more than 3 hours though.

The seat wouldn't recline if you weren't supposed to do it. Because someone else isn't comfortable to do it themselves doesn't mean you should live by their rules. It isn't invading their space.

I'd say not even ask, just give a heads up. Reclining is more acceptable than trying to talk to me the entire flight even though I put my headphones on the second I sit down.

Everyone should have to disclose their height when responding haha

I'm in the no reclining camp unless airlines are going to give back those couple of inches of legroom, which clearly isn't going to happen.
When your knees/legs are already touching the seat in front of you "only reclining a couple inches" is the difference between mild discomfort, and pain/complete discomfort.

I don't fly often, so when I do I typically pay for upgrades to get get better seats, if the price is reasonable.

You must not be 6’6

My knees need those extra couple inches, so go ahead but your getting knees to the back the rest of the flight

There are people who are quick to recline themselves. But they don't want the person in front of them reclining. They're the worst type of travellers.

Knowing you're on the opposite of this feeds my soul.

I've flown Frontier lately, they don't have reclining seats. Maybe some zones do, but not the cheap ones I fly.

Take it up with the airline. Not my fault I was born 5'11''.

They didn't call me grandpa for nothing!

They're all cheap zones. And they don't recline

Reclining is a **** move that tells everyone that your comfort is more important than the people behind you. I spent a two hour flight with my knee firmly embedded in the back of someone's seat because they did that.
