Seat pitch

The website www.seatguru.com lets you see the seat layouts and dimensions (with comments) for each airline’s planes. I didn’t see a table listing the dimensions; you have to look it up plane by plane for each airline.

In economy class on international flights, the seat pitch is almost always 31 or 32 inches and the width, 17 or 18 inches. When it shows more than 32 inches, e.g., 39 inches, there actually is less legroom because the seat has a bulkhead ahead of it and you can’t put your feet under a bulkhead. (I know; I’ve been there.) But what it has is of real value: room to stand and no seatback in your face.

The website also calls attention to bad seats, like the ones with a bulkhead behind them that don’t recline.
