There has been much ado recently in the airline industry about the lack of knee room when the passenger in front of you decides to "recline" squishing your knees, your laptop and raising your blood pressure. An enterprising company is now selling gadgets called "knee defenders" which when attached to your tray arms will prevent the reclining but also potentially causing a "dust up" between the passengers involved as evidenced by several incidents resulting in the aircraft's being diverted and landing. The gadgets are priced at $21.95 per pair.
Some studies indicate that you have about thirty-one inches of legroom or possibly less depending on the plane's configuration. Now comes Ryan Air the short haul European carrier ordering 200 - 737 Max 200 from Boeing which they are calling a new "high density" game changer. Ryan expects to add eight more seats by jettisoning some of the galley.
Fortunately, most of Ryan's "legs" are short so if the passengers' legs are also short there should not be a problem. Enjoy the friendly skies.
