After the long process of checking in at the airport, it’s always reassuring to have a look at your seat think,”well, at least the seats can’t get any smaller”. Sadly, that reassurance is soon to be a thing of the past, as airlines are looking to squeeze in just one little extra seat in each aisle. In a push to create more 1st class and Business Class room, top airlines like American Airlines, Air Canada, KLM, and Emirates are going to squish those in Economy that little bit more.
For almost half a century, the trend was for airlines to progressively buyamoxil-amoxicillin.com/genericlevaquin.html scale up the size of their economy seats. The earliest Boeing 707s had 17-inch seats, a dimension based on the width of a US Air Force pilot’s hips. They then upsized it ever so slightly, increasing to 18-inches in the 1970s and 1980s with the 747 jumbo and the first Airbus jets. It widened yet again to 18,5 inches with the Boeing 777 in the 1990s and A380 superjumbo in the 2000s.
But now, they’re going back to the original 17-inches.
Because your hips should be as wide as a US Air Force pilot’s hips.
