Quote...""""Everyone has the right to recline their seat, but please observe the following:

Not during meal service.
When starting to recline ensure there is nothing spillable on the tray behind.
Recline slowly, one notch at a time, as a signal to the person behind you that this is about to happen. Also look behind before you start.""""


I do this every time,but still get the odd whinger on shorhaul.
(longhaul is j class...just couldn't suffer i'm afraid)
We are due to fly to Alicante just after boxing day,and have BOOKED/PAID for xtra legroom seats.
That's the point we have paid for it...!
If i choose to recline, I will...(I don't at meal time)
Seats that recline,will recline..tis as simple as that,with a little courtesy.
Once had cabin crew come flying over literally,as she must have seen i was about to respond not so nicely to the passenger behind....she was literally hanging on to the back of my seat...with her bloody talons practically gouged into my skull...all beacause she hadn't paid for the legroom....and was trying to heave her humungous bulk from her seat to visit the washroom.
My seat wasn't even reclined at this time.
I feel that today's airline travel...good manners have gone out the window.
