Where is the extended leg room coach option? Almost as cheap as coach, but with more room. Flown to Europe this way several times. Cheap and comfy.
Agreed. And it seems to be getting worse. I was discussing just this subject with my lovely daughter-in-law yesterday.We rarely travel by air, mostly because we don't like travel at all, and flying now is such a general PITA with crowds and all the waiting around.
Pretty much stopped flying domestically (if it is under 1500 miles each way, we ALWAYS drive, above that is case by case) altogether. I travelled a lot for work and got sick and tired of airports and airplanes...
For transatlantic, I now do Economy Plus (where I like the price to comfort ratio for Delta a lot more than AA). This is a major change for us - we used to be rock-bottom economy type travelers
Transpacific, business class is a MUST... or I'd rather stay home
