Seat Width

[PAXboy]

I clipped this from a BBC web news item that was discussing the decision by South West to charge larger people. Although they got it wrong by failing to state that South West will only charge this if the flight is full.



How wide is your economy seat?

Lufthansa 17 inches
British Airways 17.25 inches
Swissair 17.3 inches
United Airlines 18 inches
SAS 21 inches

How wide are your hips?

50% of British women 13.9 inches plus
36% of British women 15 inches plus
5% of British women 19 inches plus
1% of British women 21 inches plus
