Why Do Airline Seats Recline?


Anyone who is over 5'4" automatically feels even more uncomfortable on a flight when that person in front of them decides to recline his or her seat. So why do they do it? Reclining does not give them any more leg room. Does reclining your seat really give you that much more comfort? I am 6'3" and I will never recline my seat on an airline.

Unless I get lucky enough to get an emergency exit row seat, my knees have nowhere to go when I squeeze into my seat. Once someone starts reclining their seat in front of me it becomes a torturous flight. These people are simply inconsiderate of others.

Why do the airlines even allow this practice in the first place?
