I do my best to avoid the B777 in 10 across configuration. However I'm an airline pilot and know something about aircraft. I also avoid the first row of over wing exit seats on A320, which don't recline.

Fortunately I can afford to choose more comfortable airlines to fly on and know about web sites such as Seat Guru.

Some people care only about the price of the ticket, hence the massive growth in low cost airlines. Premium economy is being increasingly offered by more airlines to cater to those who can't pay four times the economy fare for business class but can still pay a premium for some degree of comfort.

There are options available for those who want and are prepared to pay for more room.

1. Better airline
2. Pay for exit row seat
3. Pay for Premium economy class
4. Pay for Business class
5. Pay for First class
6. Charter private jet

The lowest available economy airfares are incredible value for money, greater comfort comes at a price. You won't get The Dorchester at Premier Inn prices.
