The Incredible Shrinking Airplane Seat

I find flying fun, but those airplane seats seem like they're getting smaller all the time. I've discovered that they are (17" wide with 30-32" legroom is the norm) -- guess I'm not inflating, after all.

Lilliputian plane seat possibilities are one more reason for using SeatGuru.com to pick your place on the plane before you fly. Walk through finding your airline and plane and picking your seat after checking out available amenities with "Airplane Seat Planning: Window or Aisle?."

A tip: Susan Daimler, manager of SeatGuru, tells Frommer's that rows 13-25 in JetBlue planes, offers 17.8" seats and Delta Song, Frontier Airlines, Midwest Airlines' "signature service" jets, and Independence Air's Airbus A320 planes all provide 33" of leg stretching in every seat. US Airways' A330 jets' rows 9-19 offer a whopping 34" of seat pitch in rows 9-19, according to Daimler.
