aaagghhhh you have hit on my pet hate! Annoys the **bleep** out of me!
I sat on a Jetstar flight (I know, my own fault probably) to Auckland recently. The bloke in front of me reclined his seat all the way back, effectively halving my space. When I asked him, very politely, if he could not have it quite so far back he just called me names and laughed with his girlfriend sitting beside him. Between him and the little girl behind kicking the back of my seat all the way, I nearly went mad.
It was only 3 hours for gods sake. He couldn't have sat up straight for that long?
I agree! Ban them, particularly on short haul flights.

There never seems to be a lot of room, I often wonder how tall people cope as my knees are almost touching the seat in the front and I am not even tall.
I saw the head of China Air interviewed not long ago and it was so interesting to listen to the lengths they go to for space and weight, even down to water bottles that are carried on board.

would appear to be the biggest flamin' irrit for all air travellers.
staff sheila offered no assistance to try to solve the prob.,
she could see wot that was.
i paid for a space on that flight, fair gave me the dirts that the character in front took 'is, and then took some of mine

You should go by Virgin...........I went to New Zealand and back with Virgin and never had that problem.
Last year I went to Adelaide from Melbourne and back with Virgin had good flight, both ways.
I would never travel by Jetstar or any of the cheaper ones...........not that I am flushed with money, I am not, just prefer to have a better flight.

Also, went on a long haul to the USA, and around USA with United, and had no problems with people putting the seats right back, maybe I have just been lucky.

there's a small device available, called a knee defender, cinches onto the seat, prevents the nark in front from movin'
the seat. oi'll be fixin' the prob. m'self next time. self-help.

I have never noticed, my flights are usually purchased by price and convenience and availability, as well as the airport locality.
Is this one of those First World Problem things?
