Legroom guide
How much legroom you'll get on the main airlines
Cheapflights.ca has compiled a table of major carriers' seat pitch for individual aircraft. Seating space on airplanes is approximated by width and seat pitch – the distance from a point in the head rest to same point in the head rest in front. For example, if an airline has a seat pitch of 81cm in economy, this means that there is a distance of 81cm between the front of one seat and the front of the seat behind it.
We do our best to ensure that all of our airline information is accurate. However, seat pitch and other specifications can vary from plane to plane.
