I do agree but I still fly internation a lot because the ocean liners are almost all gone (QM2 being the exception). International's not that bad, I check seat figures beforehand to book a more comfortable flight. Most of the fares are not that different. It's not just pitch and width, seat quality itself is important too. Generally I like the AA seats as far as US airlines go, but their new seats are no good. Thankfully, Greyhound is upgrading their whole fleet so I'll just ride them.I'm so glad I no longer fly (if I can help it). A flight a couple of years ago on U.S. Air from Dallas to Phoenix to Seattle was one of the most cramped in recent memory. What are they going to cut out or trim down next?
Edit: About 20 years ago Alaska Airlines ran a hilarious set of commercials asking that very question, they were quite humorous with one of them featuring "pay toilets" and a man desperately going around the plane to get "change for a dollar". Could this be far off? The moral of the story was the nickel/diming of the airlines....what irony.
