Size does matter when it comes to flying, especially concerning the legroom between your seat and the one in front of you. A recent survey using seat pitch statistics—an industry term for the distance between a seat and the same spot on the seat behind it—revealed significant differences among US airlines.
The domestic airlines with the most legroom in 2024:
- JetBlue Airways: 32.3 inches
- Southwest Airlines: 31.8 inches
- Delta/Alaska Airlines: 31.0 inches
The domestic airlines with the least legroom in 2024:
- Spirit/Frontier Airlines: 28.0 inches
- Hawaiian Airlines: 29.0 inches
- United Airlines: 30.1 inches
- American Airlines: 30.2 inches
Experts caution that for those needing more legroom, selecting the right airline—and even the specific aircraft—can make a substantial difference in comfort. Once the seat pitch drops below 30 inches, passengers with long legs may find the space particularly restrictive.
