Seat pitch refers to the space between a point on one seat and the same point on the seat in front of it. For many carriers, the pitch in Economy class is 30 to 32 inches (76 to 81 cm). More seat pitch can mean more legroom, but legroom is also affected by the thickness of the seat back.Airlines have claimed that a reduction of seat pitch can be compensated for by a thinner seat-back design.S Airways ' first class flatbed seats in their Airbus A330-300s have a seat pitch of 94 inches (240 cm). The seat pitch on low cost carriers can be as low as 28 inches (71 cm) in the case of Spirit Airlines and some other low cost carriers like Lion Air but is typically either 29 inches (74 cm) or 30 inches (76 cm).
