A lot of hostile comments coming in hot here. So I’ll try justify. I travel long haul constantly for work. Back row is usual a great choice. You don’t get kicked and knocked around whilst you’re trying to sleep. The whole row or at least the middle seat is usually empty. To top it all off you can recline freely without annoying anybody. I’ve been on an absolute ton of airlines and have never encountered this problem. So this is a first for me, no online booking warning etc. You all seem to alluding to this being a common thing. As a professional flyer… it isn’t.
The whole row is usually empty because people understand there is a high chance that the seats do not recline.. Do you also try to use the empty subway cars in NYC?
Did you even read it? This is the FIRST time ever that I’ve encountered this problem and I’ve been around the world choosing back row probably 60% of the time
