JetBlue is adding still more legroom to its Airbus A320 jets. A couple of years ago it had taken out a row of seats in the rear of the plane, increasing the legroom for all seats aft of the emergency exit rows (which are fixed in position due to needing to be alongside the exit doors). Now it is taking out a second row of seats, this time in front of the emergency exit doors. The net result is there will now be a massive 36" seat pitch for the seats in front of the emergency exit (rows 1 - 11) and a still generous 34" for seats behind the exit rows (rows 12 - 25). Compare this to most other airlines, with seat pitches from as little as 30" up to perhaps 32". While that is 'only' a few more inches, those inches make all the difference between too cramped and generous spacing. DAVID ROWELL – THE TRAVELINSIDER.INFO
The Official Airlines Guide reports that the world's scheduled airlines, including low-cost carriers, has a record capacity of 3.3 billion seats on 28.2 million flights during 2006. Put another way that's an average of more than 9 million seats on 77,371 flights each day worldwide. The number of seats was up 3.4% over 2005 while scheduled flights were up 1.8%. Low cost carriers flew about 16% of the total number of seats and the number of flights they flew were up 13%. Low cost carriers in the US flew about 27% of all flights, about 3% more than those in Europe. DAVID ROWELL – THE TRAVELINSIDER.INFO
