☆ Opinion: I’m a flight attendant. You need to get over your reclining seat rage
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-09 | by ( Opinion Heather Poole | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

While I dread these altercations, I think some passengers need to chill out — people have the right to recline their seat. So, you’d think that 150 lighter seats per flight will certainly save an airline a ton of money. A lighter seat that doesn’t recline is also a seat that is less likely to break, which saves an airline money in repairs. But after 28 years in the job, I’ve found there’s some basic reclining etiquette that makes for a smoother flight for everyone. But on coach, middle seat passengers struggle to type because there’s no arm space.

But the budget airline on Tuesday launched a new add-on to get more room at the front of its tightly-packed planes — with no middle seat neighbor. On flights starting April 10, Frontier will offer UpFront Plus in the first two rows of its Airbus planes, where it will block the sale of the middle seat. Those seats will also include four to five inches more legroom compared with most of the seats on the planes, an airline spokeswoman said. Fellow budget airline Spirit offers the "Big Front Seat" in its Airbus cabins. The new Frontier option isn't a new seat, but is instead spaced differently than most of the plane.

NTSB/Handout/ReutersWhy you get more emergency exits in IndonesiaIn the US, airlines must comply with federal aviation regulations, which dictate aircraft maintenance procedures and in-flight personnel assignments – and minimum standards for emergency exits.
