Do recline in economy? In my opinion reclining is completely fine EXCEPT during meal service. It is so difficult to eat with the tray table pushed all the way forward. Usually meal service last 15-20 minutes and as soon as it is done you can go right back to reclining! It is just a small thing that can really improve someone’s flight experience. Every time I have asked the person in front of me “Hey just until I am done eating would you mind sitting forward?” And everyone has always been very understanding! Some airlines like Singapore and Aer Lingus make an announcement asking everyone to sit up for meal service as well! What are your opinions on this?
