If they don't recline, into it, feel free to use it, but it's not "yours". The space directly behind you that your chair can recline into is your though, so don't feel bad. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512c272aeab8ea6554000002 artful dodger Mon, 25 Feb 2013 22:08:26 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512c272aeab8ea6554000002 Agree with everything except: 1) reclining after warning person behind you first... they should expect that you will recline since you've got every right to. If they can't handle it, they obviously didn't plan well. and 2) middle seat gets the armrest... I planned my trip in advance and diligently picked the aisle seat; I shouldn't have to give over an armrest that we can both share. Getting a middle seat is simply a curse that we all have to put up with occasionally; just accept your karma and go with it. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512c0cc36bb3f77b1c000008 Cameron Fraser Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:15:47 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512c0cc36bb3f77b1c000008 Not possible. Although cabins are pressurized they are not pressurized to the equivalent of sea level, When the airplane climbs so does the cabin. As pressure is reduced internal gases expand and have to go somewhere. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512c0b066bb3f7db15000012 Otis Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:08:22 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512c0b066bb3f7db15000012 The space you rent with your ticket does not entitle you to encroach on my space, so kindly do not recline. Or I will probably "accidentally" spill my beer on you. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512bfa4eecad04f604000009 buckethead Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:57:02 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512bfa4eecad04f604000009 Forgot the most important rule: If you are obese, please buy the entire row. It might not be your fault, but it certainly isn't mine. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512bf61beab8eaf361000003 karmaisafemaledog Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:39:07 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512bf61beab8eaf361000003 if you're so short that your feet barely touch the ground when you're in your seat, don't claim a coveted exit row seat. if i had it my way, there would be a 6'2" rule for exit rows. also, if you can feel my knees in the back of your seat, take that a hint that reclining is futile. http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512bee4fecad04a66f00000a Wow Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:05:51 -0500 http://www.businessinsider.com/c/512bee4fecad04a66f00000a That douche in the article who got upgraded will regret it - every employer in the world now knows what a petty ungracious person he appeared to the world in those photos when upgraded.
