The Asian airlines that have 34 inch pitch on most of their aircraft types are:
ANA
Asiana
Garuda
Japan
Korean
Scoot
Thai on a couple of their long distance planes.
There are some 32-33 inch pitch configurations on some other Asian carriers. Believe there are only two or three that have 31 inch pitch.
I'm just going by Seat Guru for my information.
At any rate, I still maintain that anything less than 34 inch pitch is detrimental to a passenger's health. That's on the airlines and not the passenger. It will be only a matter of time before there may be class action lawsuits against the airlines for huge medical payments for people who have developed blood clots resulting in pulmanary embolism, strokes, and heart attacks.directly caused by DVT.
