There it is...one small, silver circle...one little button.
How could something like this, when pressed, lead to some pretty strong feelings from most people? Well, when you have paid three-hundred-something dollars to sit in a pilly-fabric chair, 30,000+ feet above ground in a metal tube filled with other fellow airplane travelers, that is precisely when just one little button can lead to something much bigger.
Nearly everyone has an opinion about reclining seats on an airplane. Some feel that it is their God given right to press that little silver button and they will recline if and when they want to, damn it! Others would never consider doing such evil as they wouldn't wish a reclined seat on even their worst enemy.
Where do you stand?
Is it your right to get a little more space and fly in a more comfortable position?
Is it rude to shove yourself back onto someone else's lap during your time in the sky?
Do you think it is more of a "case by case" situation - does it matter if you look over your shoulder and ask first? What about the length of the flight? Exit rows? So many variables!
Let's hear your thoughts!
Until next time, travel on...

I always want to recline SO BAD but I fear whoever is behind me. Whether I've sneaked a peek at them or not.
ReplyDeleteI've already told Matt no matter what the cost or where we're headed, our honeymoon must be flown to via first class. Just for once in my life!
Oh, honeymoon! Perfect time for first class - I like your thinking!
