Legroom Guide

How much legroom you'll get on the main airlines

Cheapflights.ca has compiled a table of airline seat pitch for the main carriers. Seating space on airplanes is approximated by width and seat pitch – the distance from a point in the headrest to same point in the headrest 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.
