    My knees are already about an inch from the seat in front of me in economy. How about airlines replace seats with ship style bunks so I can fly in relative comfort.

      I hadn’t thought of that, but ships bunks are almost certainly more space efficient. You could stack them three high pretty easily. Throw in a curtain and I’d take that over a seat I think. Even if you’re not planning on sleeping, it sounds more comfortable.

      Airlines charge you for comfort. The transport is the same for everyone on board, but more comfortable accommodations cost more.

      If they could get away with loading people in feet-first they would, and your legs would still be too long to be comfortable.
