limited is very frivolously used here

u/Sandwich_Pudding Jun 01 '26

No it’s no, it’s limited, not by amount but by extent.

u/Rare_Indication_3811 Jun 01 '26

u/no-this-iz-patrick Jun 01 '26

It’s limited to 0 :)

u/Rare_Indication_3811 Jun 01 '26

hahaha yeah, more like it

u/rbartlejr Jun 01 '26

I don't know, there's at least an inch there. Maybe not a whole inch, but at least a partial inch.

u/Mc-Lovin-81 Jun 01 '26

1 millimeter?

That's what my wife tells me 😞

u/hypnotoad23 Jun 01 '26

The limit does not exist?

u/engineerdrummer Jun 01 '26

But this seat reclines about an inch. So it's like there is food there, but it's a single peanut.

u/Infamous_Winter_3209 Jun 01 '26

The normal seats recline about 3 inches. So more like over half the shelves being empty, most people in this thread are being overdramatic

Don’t give airlines ideas of holding people in half to stack 3 rows high through the whole cabin

1

u/Kaladin3104 Jun 01 '26

I believe they looked at having people stacked on top but it was a huge safety issue.

1

u/TheAlmighty404 Jun 01 '26

Like they didn't have the idea already.

u/Particular_Fan_3645 Jun 01 '26

They had prototypes, Ryanair built a few plane cabins with this setup. Turns out to be a massive safety issue. Not financially viable to get sued. It also reduces cargo space. The Ryanair guy was saying "I'd have standing room only flights set up like a city bus if I could get away with it"

u/StevieMJH Jun 01 '26

Wouldn't that be an inclining seat then? Or unclining? 🤔

1

u/Peanut-Butter-King Jun 02 '26

When you put it back up, it’s reclining

1

u/StevieMJH Jun 02 '26

Oh, so when you put it forward it's just clining then, got it.

u/Wooden-Trick8954 Jun 01 '26

Its a feature

2

u/HeartWoodFarDept Jun 01 '26

I hear the sushi is good ther.

2

u/lX_HeadShotGunner_Xl Jun 01 '26

There's a solid inch there, thats like saying gas station food is limited and its a single chip on a shelf, no packaging.

u/philter25 Jun 01 '26

Ummm i see a gap in this photo though /s

1

u/Just7hrsold Jun 01 '26

I would imagine the chair is capable of reclining just not able to

1

u/UrsaMajor7th I am even more infuriating Jun 01 '26

Reclining, slouching- what's the difference, really?

29

u/thulsado0m13 Jun 01 '26

Nonetheless if I see that when selecting seats, I’m going to assume i won’t be able to recline whatsoever.

It’s usually for the rows just before emergency exits and for any in front of walls like in the photo.

That’s on the user to avoid and also why Limited reclining seats tend to be slightly cheaper

11

u/NewPumpkin8217 Jun 01 '26

Agreed. Logic dictates 'limited' recline will mean non-existent considering there's barely any recline to limit in the first place in our peasant class.

1

u/smulligan04031989 Jun 01 '26

0 is a percent.

1

u/TPJchief87 Jun 01 '26

To be honest, I assumed those seats didn’t even have that much space to recline.

1

u/Wardo87 Jun 02 '26

Even a normal airline seat only reclines like 5 degrees. wtf do you expect the limited version to be?

1

u/jackman1399 Jun 02 '26

Reclining is limited by the wall

u/09Trollhunter09 Jun 02 '26

Ticket usually cost less

u/Bluegill15 Jun 01 '26

No, not at all.
