Read in the article nice wee hack of turning your cool air vent on to full and pointing it at the head of the guy reclining the seat
The seats all recline and for a reason. Just recline your own and let the domino effect rule. If im in business im at the bar anyway. Short haul flights its not really an issue unless i need to sleepIf you cant afford first or business class then I feel you shouldnt have the luxury of making the person behind's flight a misery.
Thats just petty but flying tends to bring that out in people. Its a great opportunity to watch human behaviour, it can be like a kindergardenRead in the article nice wee hack of turning your cool air vent on to full and pointing it at the head of the guy reclining the seat
100 percent Lol it is all about defending your personal space including the middle arm restThats just petty but flying tends to bring that out in people. Its a great opportunity to watch human behaviour, it can be like a kindergarden
Ah right, sorry, thought it was a flight from here.Interesting how passionate people get about this as reflected in this feature

Ill keep it to a yes or no answer despite some obvious variables
For the sake of easy distinction assume its a 4 hour flight in economy
Do you push the button or not?
Only recline on a night flight myself and always book a window seat and give up the other arm rest. However, if someone reclines straight away, I will ask nicely for them not to. Then if they act like a tawt I spend the rest of the flight banging the back of the seat.
There are far worse thing people do on planes than recline:
if those happened to me, I’d ask nicely first then if ignored yank the hair down as hard as I could While moving it out of the way of my screen (unless it was a woman then the Mrs would Do it for me), if it happened again I’d then stick a chunk of chewing gum in their hair to return the pettyness and for the foot id buy a coffee and accidently on purpose Spill it on them. I can be just as much as a tw6t as any selfish git on a plane. Always start polite but if it escalates I’m childish enough to play to win.
There was a video of a long haired person doing that with their hair and the person did exactly what you suggested with a lot of chewing gum. Video didn’t show how it ended.if those happened to me, I’d ask nicely first then if ignored yank the hair down as hard as I could While moving it out of the way of my screen (unless it was a woman then the Mrs would Do it for me), if it happened again I’d then stick a chunk of chewing gum in their hair to return the pettyness and for the foot id buy a coffee and accidently on purpose Spill it on them.

I think that vid was staged. She does just get up and walk away at the end. Kept flicking her hair and would have totally felt it. was even dunking it in coffee etc.There was a video of a long haired person doing that with their hair and the person did exactly what you suggested with a lot of chewing gum.

I’m 6’5” too but have never reclined / would never recline even long haul, I iust don’t consider it fair on the person behind me. If I did ever want to on a long haul overnight then I’d ask the person behind me first if they minded and would accede to their wish either way. It’s just a question of politeness and consideration for others in my opinion.
If someone reclined in front of me without asking first I’d politely ask them not to do so on account of my height and the fact they are likely to be constantly bumped in the back by knees etc if I move, therefore giving them the choice of being bumped and banged or sitting back up, they can’t then complain if I batter fck out of them, spill stuff over the top of the seat etc whilst they’re reclined.
Totally agree - it doesnt bother me at all. I also don’t understand people getting upset when a kid is crying on a flight. They have my complete sympathy if anything.It's ok to recline your seat on any flight and I'm happy for the person in front of me to do it. The protocol is that you put your seats upright for any meal service.
It can be bad though. I'm still traumatised from a long haul flight to Singapore where I had a crying baby either side of me.Totally agree - it doesnt bother me at all. I also don’t understand people getting upset when a kid is crying on a flight. They have my complete sympathy if anything.
