Have Your Say

My husband and I travel overseas at least once a year. The seats on most airlines are so crammed, that for a tall or larger person, this is a concern. It is extremely uncomfortable and our major concern is that DVT would be more prevalent in this situation (given the aisles are also narrow). If you are unfortunate to be sitting next to a very large person who invades your space as a consequence,, apart from feeling angry at having paid for a full seat but only getting half, you often have no other option that to wander the narrow ailse, arriving at your destination frustrated, tired and determined to make this your last trip. The toilets are also small. For long journeys this means spending an extended period in confined spaces and I wonder long term what this poses for OHS for airlines. We now do not take longer journeys than 5 hours by plane for this reasons and cannot afford to go above economy. Also, in flight entertainment often means that the drop down TV is so far in the distance that you end up reading instead or trying to sleep. Shouldn’t the whole travel journey be a joy?!
