Airplane seating arrangements


The most expensive form of public transportation is air travel. It is kind of a rich people's vehicle. People who are not wealthy often use this transport when there are no other options available, such as crossing an ocean or a long distance.

Airplane services vary significantly across different countries. The best airline services are provided by Middle Eastern airlines.

Canadian airline fares are very high, but the service is very low. It is lower than many third-world countries. I have travelled with Canadian Air and WestJet airlines. I found WestJet's service is better than Canadian Airlines. However, WestJet also needs to improve a lot. All airplanes need a deep clean. Nobody will feel good when they find food crumbs in different places after taking a seat. Window glasses should be very clean so travellers can have a nice view and take good pictures.

Except for the first-class area, all economy seats are designed for very zero figure/slim individuals. If you are a normal-sized person, there’s no chance you will sit in their seat without touching the person next to you. Everyone needs personal space, but you can't have it in economy class. The airline companies seem to follow a system similar to the Muslim salat practice in a mosque, where you stand shoulder to shoulder with others. In airlines, you have to sit like that.

If you are travelling with your group, it might be okay (though not for everyone), but when you are travelling with a stranger, this is very wrong.

To make more money, airlines shouldn't put people in that situation.
