Have you rued travelling
in the low cost carriers or the cramped up economy sections of the full service
carriers? Whether acceptable or not, it has been a fact of life that if you
want to save on money while flying, you will have to live with the lesser space
of your seats. But, this is fast changing as the carriers are realizing the
need for diversifying their seat-portfolios on offer and are not just providing
the cabin class experiences but are also providing more options for seating
within a class of cabin, particularly the economy section.
International
airlines have started offering more legroom seats to passengers which comes
with an additional charge, which can be very steep at times. Lufthansa, KLM,
Singapore, Etihad, United Airways and other such carriers have different
charges for different location seats with more legroom. These seats could be
the preferred ones, the exit row seats, the economy plus seats- all having more
legroom space.
Whether you would
be willing to pay the extra charges, which could be even three times the normal
or standard fare would depend on a number of factors such as whether you are
travelling alone or with family, desired level of comfort and, of course, the
ability to pay more for economy in lieu of moving to a higher cabin class.
If you are traveling in economy sections of international carriers, it is worthwhile making a check on availability of these seats.
