what is pitch on airplane seat
Pitch is defined as the distance between one point on a seat and the same point on the seat behind. A typical seat pitch in coach measures from 31 to 35 inches, Luedeke says. Southwest's new pitch configuration moves its rows about an inch closer together, from 32 to 31 inches, according to the airline. In addition, economy seats will move only two inches during recline instead of three, the airline says.
âSeat Pitch is the distance from any point on one seat to the exact same point on the seat in front or behind it.â â I am gonna put that quote in the photo caption I think. It was hard finding a good photo with a good side profile. A few lame stick figures out there, but gives you a good jist. Bigger is better. David.
