ExtraLegroom

I’ve seen a lot of people saying the new Southwest setup is great because you don’t have to check in right at 24 hours anymore to get a good spot. I just tried using my 48-hour early seat selection benefit (through a credit card perk) and honestly it felt exactly the same, just...

Recently flew Air India and paid extra through the app for first row seats specifically for the extra legroom. When we boarded, the seats we were given didn’t have any additional legroom at all. That was the whole reason we paid for them. We were also traveling with a young...

Flying tonight on an extra legroom fare and specifically picked an aisle at the front of the section. I like being close to the bathroom and that’s literally why I chose it. Checked in and they had automatically moved me to a middle seat toward the back of the extra legroom...

Flying back from Costa Rica this week and I paid almost $200 for exit row seats on both legs of the return, selected and confirmed two months ago. I’m 7 feet tall, so this wasn’t a “nice to have”, it’s a necessity. Day before check-in, the seats disappear from the app. Figured...

I’m A List Preferred and booked myself an extra legroom seat. When I went to add my Companion, the app tried to charge a fee to select the extra legroom seat next to me. I always thought Companions could sit together regardless of seat type, so this threw me off. Turns out it...

On a January 17 flight from FLL to Houston, a woman and her daughter pre-boarded. Totally legit. The daughter was clearly disabled, no issue there at all. When we boarded with a mid-A position, they were sitting in row 2. Fine. But their stuff was spread across rows 3 and 4 too....

Flew Frontier on December 23 with my son and paid extra for stretch seating on the second leg since it was much longer. When we boarded, it was obvious right away that our seats did not have extra legroom at all. I asked the flight attendant and was told they swapped to a...

That’s super frustrating, especially when you’re tall and paying specifically to avoid that exact problem. If your knees are still jammed, then the seat just isn’t doing what it’s advertised to do. Breeze is really inconsistent depending on the aircraft and row. Some of their...
