Okay, so I’ve ran into this problem and a know others who have. You are on a plane on coach class, and the person in front of you has their seat back to were it is hard to grab and put away things in your luggage. This bugs me and I think that seats should not go back if you are in coach setting. I don’t need to be almost kissing the seat. How would I deal with this?
The problem is that the airline has sold that space to two people. They sold it to the person in front as space for reclining and the person in back as space as well. So really the only option is to politely request the person in front does not recline so far. If this does not affect sufficently request a seat change from the stewardess or pay for seats that have more legroom.
