Why do a few inches of recline make a difference on airplane seats during take off/landing?
In: 72
My pregnant wife and I flew to Europe last month. She was 5 months pregnant and showing a little bit. When we are at cruise and the person in front of us was fully reclined, she couldn’t get out of her seat without my help. Imagine that scenario if there were to be an accident on take-off or landing which required rapid evacuation from the aircraft.
[Before anybody asks, yes, she was totally OK to fly both from a medical perspective and an airline policy perspective.]
