    This week, Canadian airline WestJet became one of the first to try to switch the ability to recline into a paid “perk” by announcing that it was reconfiguring 43 of its Boeing 737-8 MAX and 737-800 (BA) planes to have what it classifies as a “refreshed range of seating options.”

    I’d rather pay for preventing the front passenger from reclining into me.

      Nah, they’ll alternate reclinable and non-recinable rows - just for fun.

            I’ll pay extra to disable the person in front of me from being able to recline their seat.

            As it is, I never use seat recline because there isnt fucking room.

                Sure then they should have reduced the cost of non reclining seats and nobody would care. But they are charging more for something they was included before.

                  I’m actually fine with them removing ALL seat reclining options.

                    Then he pays even more to recline even further. Will you match the $15?

                      are you in a “paid for oxygen row” or a “hold your breath” row ?

                            The only difference is societal acceptance.

                                  So if the seat in front of me reclines into my face, I cannot move without paying?

                                    But that would add needless bureaucracy! The industry will regulate itself and save taxpayer money!

                                        The airline industry figured out long ago that people will suffer the most miserable flights possible in order to save money but they will absolutely take free comfort upgrades. If they do this it’s to save money and make the flight cheaper because if other airlines offer reclining seats at the same price customers will take those instead as a free upgrade.
