The INSIDER Summary:
- Legroom varies on major airlines.
- JetBlue has the most legroom, with 34 inches of space.
- Spirit has the least, with only 28 inches.
You can essentially forget bringing on a free carry on, you know food will cost an arm and a leg (if there is any at all), and it’s a safe bet that you’ll have a screaming child within five rows of your seat.
Most of the time, anything to do with plane travel seems out of your control, which is what makes flying such a stressful experience.
However, one thing you can control, sort of, is how much legroom you get — depending on which airline you choose to book with.
The infographic below, uploaded onto Reddit by user AvadaKedavra03, outlines major airlines’ amount of legroom in inches.
JetBlue, which promises “the most legroom in coach,” actually lives up to that promise with 34 inches of legroom. Spirit on the other hand, which often finds itself last in domestic airline rankings, only has 28 inches.

On July 24, 2024, a tragic accident unfolded at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when a Saurya Airlines aircraft crashed during takeoff.
The incident occurred around 11:00 AM local time as the flight, bound for Pokhara, was preparing for departure. The aircraft, carrying 19 individuals including the aircrew, crashed shortly after lifting off the runway. According to PTI, “at least 18 people were killed” in the accident.
The casualties included 18 Nepalis and one Yemeni citizen, all of whom were employees of Saurya Airlines, as confirmed by police. The aircraft was en route for technical maintenance at the time of the crash.

Images released by Nepal police showed thick smoke pouring from the burning wreckage on the runway. Eyewitnesses, as reported by The Kathmandu Post, described how the plane flipped after its wing-tip struck the ground during takeoff.
The impact led to an immediate fire, and the aircraft subsequently plunged into a gorge on the eastern side of the runway. Rescue operations commenced swiftly, with police and firefighters arriving at the scene to control the situation.
The aviation authority confirmed that rescue efforts were initiated immediately, but the crash underscores the persistent dangers associated with air travel in Nepal. The country’s challenging mountainous terrain often contributes to aviation risks.

The pilot of the aircraft survived the crash and was transported to Kathmandu Medical College Hospital for treatment, as reported by a doctor at the hospital who was not authorized to speak to the media.
In response to the incident, Tribhuvan International Airport, the primary hub for both international and domestic flights in Nepal, was closed as emergency crews worked at the site.
